An NHS doctor has been arrested on suspicion of engaging in sexual activity with an underage girl.
South Wales Police were called to a property in Sketty, Swansea at around 8pm on Tuesday following a report from a so-called ‘paedophile hunting’ group.
A 52-year-old man, working at Morriston Hospital in Swansea, was detained on suspicion of inciting a girl aged 13 to 15 to engage in sexual activity.
He was later released on conditional bail pending further enquiries.
Swansea Bay University Health Board said the man had been ‘immediately excluded’ while investigations continue.
A spokesman added: ‘We can confirm that police have been made aware of a video circulating on social media involving a member of our staff.
‘Due to the serious nature of the allegations in the video he has been immediately excluded while investigations continue. Any further inquiries should be directed to South Wales Police.’
South Wales Police said officers were called to Rhyd yr Helyg, Sketty, Swansea at around 7.50pm on Tuesday following a report of ‘a man having engaged in child sex offences’.
