RODERICK FRASER BANNED BELFAST PAEDOPHILE DOCTOR LIVING IN AMSTERDAM
In a disturbing case that spans decades, Roderick Fraser, a Belfast-born medical professional, has been identified as a convicted paedophile with a long history of child abuse offenses.Despite his extensive criminal record, Fraser managed to remain on the General Medical Council's (GMC) register for many years, raising serious questions about oversight and the protection of vulnerable children.
Fraser, now 55 years old, first attracted public attention in the early 1970s due to his work with child victims of the Ulster Troubles.
During this period, he was under investigation for alleged involvement with a paedophile ring based in New York.
His troubling history continued to unfold as he was later convicted of sex offenses involving a 13-year-old Belfast Scout during a trip to London.
Additionally, he was found guilty of making indecent films of children aged eight and twelve, with these crimes being linked to his contact with minors through charitable organizations.
Despite his criminal convictions, Fraser was allowed to continue practicing medicine under certain conditions.
The GMC stated that he could remain on the register provided he did not have contact with children.
As a result, Fraser took up work in geriatric care, a field where he was less likely to encounter minors.
However, it was later revealed that he exploited his professional title as a doctor to secure employment with a charity that worked with disadvantaged boys, further exposing his predatory tendencies.
In 1995, Fraser was convicted again for offenses against a teenage boy.
Despite this latest conviction, the GMC had previously reached an agreement with him that effectively barred him from practicing medicine.
Nevertheless, Fraser continued to operate in some capacity, raising concerns about the effectiveness of regulatory oversight.
Investigations have uncovered that Fraser is believed to be residing in Amsterdam, far from the reach of UK authorities.
His case remains a stark reminder of the failures in safeguarding children and the importance of rigorous monitoring of individuals with a history of sexual offenses.
The full extent of his activities and current whereabouts continue to be a matter of concern for law enforcement and child protection agencies.
