A Sheffield nurse has been charged with a series of sexual offences, a number of which were allegedly committed at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital in Sheffield.

Operating theatre nurse Paul Grayson, 51, has today been charged with a total of 20 offences.

Thirteen of the charges - 10 counts of voyeurism and three counts of sexual assault - relate to offences allegedly committed in the Day Case Theatre Unit at the hospital against five hospital staff members and four patients between 2017 and 2020. Three of these voyeurism charges and one of the sexual assaults relate to the discovery of recordings of the intimate areas of three unidentified female patients.

The remaining seven charges - one count of taking indecent photographs of a child, three counts of voyeurism and three counts of making indecent photographs of children - are unrelated to Grayson's workplace.
