Woman says struck-off sex GP tried to 'choke' her

Warning: This article contains text of a sexual nature

A woman says a GP who was struck off for having sex with multiple women at his surgery attempted to choke her during sex.

The woman, who does not want to be named, met Thomas Plimmer on a dating app in 2017.

She claimed that when they were having sex at her home on a second date, he "started squeezing my throat" without her consent.

Mr Plimmer said that under legal advice he was unable to comment due to his ongoing appeal against being struck off.

The woman said she was concerned she may have been filmed because of seeing Mr Plimmer with his phone during intimate moments.

She said she had complained to his medical practice in Swindon.

The women then looked Mr Plimmer up online and discovered he had written an article about being a self-confessed sex addict.

In the MPTS hearing, Dr Plimmer admitted having sex with other colleagues during working hours and sending unsolicited intimate pictures - taken at work - to another woman.

It was proven that Mr Plimmer had threatened one of the women, telling another that if one "takes me to the GMC, I’ll slit her throat. I know where she lives."

In 2018, the tribunal found he had walked into the office of a colleague - known as Miss A - and unexpectedly showed her a video of him having sex with another woman.

It also found he had placed her hand on his groin without her consent after he told her: "I have something that would cheer you up."

Mr Plimmer has declined to comment on the woman's allegations. He says this is because of his forthcoming appeal against being struck off by the GMC.
