A doctor who stalked his former lover and sent explicit photos and details of her sex life to her ex-partner may be struck off, a tribunal has heard. Dr Gary Lucitt, an obstetrician and gynaecologist in Swansea, repeatedly turned up at the woman's home in 2018, leaving her 'terrified'. He was jailed for 16 weeks in 2019 after pleading guilty to stalking.
At a fitness to practise hearing on Tuesday, the General Medical Council (GMC) said his actions undermined the profession. Lucitt, now 44, was convicted of stalking his former lover, referred to as Miss E, between May and June 2018. He had denied a more serious charge of stalking involving fear of violence or serious alarm or distress.
The tribunal heard that after Miss E ended their 18-month casual relationship, Lucitt sent a letter to her ex-boyfriend containing photographs of her in bed and detailing explicit claims about her sex life. The letter, which Lucitt signed as a senior gynaecologist at Singleton Hospital despite being a trainee, also claimed Miss E was taking drugs. She contacted police, and Lucitt was arrested the following day.
After being bailed, Miss E began receiving messages from an anonymous number, including one that read: 'I hope you realise your life is going to get a whole lot worse.' On 3 June, Lucitt drove past her at the beach and 'raised a hand and dragged it across his throat'. He also turned up outside her house twice, breaching his bail conditions.
In a victim impact statement, Miss E said she was 'at times terrified' and too scared to be alone at home, fearing Lucitt would appear at the window. She said the stalking caused her to lose weight and left her feeling paranoid. Alan Taylor, representing the GMC, said Lucitt had not demonstrated any remorse and continued to blame others for what happened.
