dailymail.co.uk

Dr. Astrit Rrukaj, a 41-year-old doctor, has been struck off after a tribunal found he sexually assaulted a female colleague at his home. The incident occurred in August 2021 when he invited her over, pressured her to drink, and played suggestive music. During the evening, Rrukaj made unwanted physical advances, including kissing and fondling, despite the woman’s objections. He later assaulted her again outside as she attempted to call for help. The tribunal concluded that Rrukaj abused his position and caused the woman to feel trapped. The General Medical Council emphasized the seriousness of Rrukaj's actions, stating they would shock the public. The tribunal found no evidence of remorse from Rrukaj, leading to his indefinite removal from the medical register.
