February 1998 Paedophile doctor had long history of child abuse offending 55-year-old Belfast-born Roderick Fraser doctor has a 20-year record of sex offences against children. Yet he was allowed to stay on the GMC’s register of practitioners, despite his latest conviction in 1995 for offences against a teenage boy. The GMC said he could keep working so long as he was not in contact with children. So he signed on for geriatric work. But he used his respectable “Dr” title to get a job with a charity involving deprived boys. In the early 1970s he attracted attention for his work with child victims of the Ulster troubles while he was under investigation for involvement with a New York paedophile ring. He was later convicted of sex offences involving a 13-year-old Belfast Scout during a trip to London and making indecent films of eight and 12-year-olds. He contacted them through the charity. He was jailed in 1993. Inquiries revealed that the GMC had earlier made an agreement with Fraser that he would not practise as a doctor. Fraser is now believed to be living in Amsterdam.
