Doctor Who Secretly Put Semen in Woman’s Coffee Struck Off Medical Register Immediately

A twisted doctor who put his own semen in a woman’s coffee has been struck off the medical register with “immediate effect”.

Perverted Nicholas Chapman, 57, will now never work in the medical profession again due to the risk he poses to members of the public.

The former GP, from Taunton, Somerset, was previously slapped with a community order for a sexual offence after a trial found he’d filled hundreds of ‘specimen’ samples, before pouring these into the hot drinks of his victim.

Giving grim testimony, the victim shared how, after taking a sip of a “salty” tasting coffee, she would pour other beverages away, only to notice a “thick gloopy” substance in the sink.

The victim recalled: “I did not know what it was. I did not suspect it could have been semen at that point. He was then bringing me more drinks – probably one to three cups of coffee a week.

“Since that occasion, I tipped them away in the sink – seeing the sort of substance in the sink – it was different size and quantities each time. At least six times I’ve seen it – I’ve not drunk it since that first time.”

She added: “I remember the first time I saw stuff in the sink – he said, ‘Did you notice something in your drink? I noticed something in mine, he said. Maybe that was the first time he did it, and wanted to know if I’d noticed. It tasted salty.”

One year later, in September 2021, she became suspicious once more after coming across Chapman’s foul collection of “specimen pots”. The victim shared: “I instantly suspected he had been putting semen in them and transporting them into my drink. I was in shock at that point. I noticed in this trouser pocket what looked like one of those bottles.”

The next time Chapman offered to make her a coffee, the victim “instantly felt ill”, and was left “shaking that he had put something in it”. This time, she took a sample of the “gloopy” drink straight to the police. Remembering her nerves, she continued: “I felt very jumpy and worried he would catch me with this cup. I put the cup into a bag and dropped the sample off (to the police).” It tested positive for Chapman’s semen.

Chapman, who trained at the University of Cape Town in his home country of South Africa, was arrested after arriving at work. He was then suspended from his position at the Somerset-based health centre, once the allegations came to light. The former doctor had attempted to claim that the collection of samples was due to a “secret” condition that saw him discharge semen during defecation.

Although he acknowledged there were at least 10-12 “collections” a month and 140 collections a year that were not flushed down the toilet, he insisted that his masturbation, including at work, had “nothing to do with pleasure – but a painful necessity.”

Alleging that another person must have put these in the coffee as a “prank that went horribly wrong”, Chapman argued: “I don’t know why someone did that with my sample – I don’t know why someone did it or why.” When quizzed as to why he did not seek help for his issue or why there was no note of this on his medical records, Chapman told the court: “GPs are often really bad at managing themselves. However, this defence was dismissed as “absurd”.

At the trial, the victim also described how “letchy” Chapman had shown her photographs on his phone of his “erect penis” on at least two occasions. She stated: “I thought (the first time) it was a mistake and he must be really embarrassed. The second time I felt like it was on purpose. It made me feel very uncomfortable. It was not until I had seen the pots that I suspected it was semen in my drink. At times, I refused a coffee, but he would do it anyway.”

When asked in court about these photos, which were seen by two colleagues, Chapman claimed this was an “accident” and that he’d been “mortified”. In her victim impact statement, the victim told the court: “I feel betrayed by him, by his actions. He has made me feel powerless.
