One of the UKs most senior GPs has been struck off after being convicted of downloading hundreds of child abuse images.
At Manchester Crown Court in July 2023, Varnam was sentenced to a two year community order, a rehabilitation activity requirement and 150 hours of community service after admitting three counts of making indecent images. He was also ordered to sign the Sex Offender Register and abide by the terms of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order for a period of five years.
"But it is an evil trade, in some ways worse than drug dealing. It causes untold misery for the victims and it is done simply to line the pockets of such people who trade in such matters, or to trade with other people who have a similarly perverted mindset.Now, at a Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service hearing in Manchester, Varnam was struck off the medical register after his fitness to practise was found to be impaired.
