Salil Korambayil was jailed for raping two women in their homes after he pursued them online.

The allegations against Salil Korambayil first came to light while he was employed at North Devon District Hospital

The report was commissioned by the Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust and made recommendations including better training for staff to spot warning signs, and improved guidance for managers about handling alleged criminal offences. It said: "This was an appalling criminal case in which Korambayil fundamentally abused the trust we all place in healthcare professionals."

They were escalated to managers at the trust, who informally suspended Korambayil until October 2020 when he moved to the Royal Cornwall NHS Trust, as part of a pre-planned rotation.
