A 78-year-old doctor was today charged over historic allegations of rape and indecent assault at hospitals including Stoke Mandeville.

Retired consultant Dr Michael Salmon was arrested as part of the Metropolitan Police Service’s Operation Yewtree which was set up following the Jimmy Savile allegations.

He was arrested today and later charged with one count of rape and four counts of indecent assault by Thames Valley Police following advice from Thames and Chiltern Crown Prosecution Service.

A Thames Valley Police spokesman said: “The charges relate to incidents involving four victims from 1972 to 1985 at various hospitals in the Aylesbury area, including Stoke Mandeville Hospital.

“The charges stem from the Metropolitan Police Service’s Operation Yewtree.”

Salmon, from Wood Green, Hampshire, has been bailed to appear at Aylesbury Magistrates’ Court on December 17.
