Admin assistant posed as a physician and nurse on relationship apps to ‘prey on older, susceptible males’, court docket hears
An admin assistant posed as a doctor and a nurse on dating apps to ‘prey on older, vulnerable men’, a court has heard.
Lisa Jane Davies, 44, allegedly lied to three men who she entered relationships with after meeting them online.
Davies, who lives in Lisburn, Northern Ireland, is accused of moving in with the older men after pretending to be a nurse or doctor.
She convinced one of her alleged victims they were married and subjected them to ‘coercive control and actual bodily harm’ during a two-year relationship, Belfast Magistrates Court heard.
Davies also faces two counts of criminal damage, two of engaging in domestic abuse, single counts of causing actual bodily harm, intimidating a witness, fraud, as well as theft of documents and perverting the course of justice.
One victim claimed Ms Davies assaulted him but withdrew it after she threatened him.
Another said she had taken blood from him and injected him with what she said was a flu injection.
She also allegedly damaged her first victim’s phone plates and glasses while she lied to her former solicitor in order to obtain an emergency non-molestation order (NMO) which was subsequently granted and served on another victim.

Davies ‘entered into various relationships with older, vulnerable men’ between August 2021 and June 2024 having met them through social media and dating apps, a constable giving evidence told the judge.
She would ‘usually move in with them within a short period of time’ and police uncovered she had also ‘used a number of different aliases and false employment status, claiming to be a nurse or doctor.’
She allegedly convinced one they were married by holding an apparent wedding which was actually a ‘ceremony of commitment’.
Davies also allegedly provided false information to Sky in order to secure a credit agreement.
While working in an administrative role for the Belfast Trust, she allegedly ‘gained unlawful access to the medical records of victim number three, printed the record and presented it to him.’
Davies was freed on her own bail of £750 and ordered to come back to court on 15 December.
