Description
A 61-year-old sex pest handyman who exposed himself to elderly victims is a struck-off doctor, Hull Live can reveal.
Michael Rusling of Lund Avenue, Cottingham ran a local business carrying out home repairs and maintenance in the area.
But he "abused" his position of trust by carrying out sex crimes.
As well as being locked up for six months, Rusling was placed on the sex offenders register for seven years.
Rusling pleaded guilty to three exposure offences at Hull Crown Court and was also given a life-long restraining order to keep away and make no contact with the elderly victims.
Investigating officer DS Wood, said: Rusling abused his position as a handyman and I thank his elderly victims for their bravery in coming forward, and for their patience while this case took its course through the criminal justice system.
I know the three victims have been given some form of comfort from this, but their lives are still impacted by this mans behaviour.
"I would like to provide reassurance to anyone who may have suffered any form of sexual offence, if you come to us we will listen to and support you, and act against those responsible."
Rusling was a GP in Hull who was struck off for having sex with a patient and a co-worker in his surgery at Sydenham House Group Practice.
In 2009 The Mirror reported that a hearing of the General Medical Council (GMC) heard how Rusling had sex with three women.
