MAN INVOLVED IN SEXUAL MISCONDUCT
Update 29/06/2026: A former junior doctor who possessed videos of toddlers being raped and engaged in online discussions about child sexual abuse has been sentenced in court.Police had acted on intelligence leading to his arrest after a raid on his Llanelli home in the early hours.
It was revealed that Jenkins had previously received a community order in 2017 following allegations of sending explicit material to an undercover police officer posing as a minor, an outcome the judge called "astonishing." The prosecution detailed how police seized his devices after an arrest and discovered a large collection of child abuse videos, including Category A content depicting toddlers.
Jenkins was also involved in encrypted conversations on Telegram and shared indecent images with others.
The evidence indicated active participation in a network facilitating the sharing of illegal images.
Jenkins, aged 34, pleaded guilty to possession and distribution of such images.
His previous conviction involved messaging with a police officer thought to be a 13-year-old, where he discussed sexual activities and sent explicit photographs.
Following his recent sentencing, Jenkins was removed from the medical register and sentenced to 30 months in prison, with a portion served in custody.
He will remain a registered sex offender for life and is subject to a long-term sexual harm prevention order.
The judge condemned Jenkins' actions and highlighted the real victims involved in the abuse depicted in the videos.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… In September 2017, Thomas Jenkins, a 28-year-old junior doctor working at a psychiatric facility in Wrexham, North Wales, was involved in a series of disturbing incidents, the medical tribunal heard.
After finishing a night shift at the hospital, Jenkins attended a drug-fueled sex party where he reportedly took methedrone before bringing another man back to his home for sex.
Subsequently, Jenkins used the dating app Grindr to contact a male he believed was a teenager.
Over a two-day period, he exchanged messages and sent sexual images of himself.
During their chats, Jenkins asked the young man, who was actually an undercover police officer, how he lost his virginity and asked, “How do you like to be f**ked?” Unbeknownst to Jenkins, this conversation was part of a police operation targeting online child sexual exploitation.
Jenkins was convicted last year at Manchester Crown Court for child sex offences and was sentenced to a three-year community order.
He is also required to sign the Sex Offender Register for five years.
The medical tribunal was informed that Jenkins was arrested at his workplace.
In interviews, he chose not to comment except to say that he had “ruined his life,” and he refused to provide passwords for his devices despite being asked.
Further details revealed that Jenkins returned home from work, engaged in a sex party, and then continued his contact with other men, including the undercover officer he called Liam.
During their conversations, Jenkins expressed violent intentions, stating he “wanted to slap him about a bit,” and inquired about Liam’s sexual experiences.
He also advised having sex without a condom, deeming it more ‘natural,’ and asked whether Liam liked certain sexual positions.
The Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service heard that Jenkins’s behaviour was persistent and explicitly sexual, with messages revealing a clear attempt to persuade a minor into sexual activity.
Jenkins, who resides in a waterside flat in Manchester city centre, attended the misconduct hearing with his mother, facing a potential ban from practicing medicine.
Sharon Beattie, representing the General Medical Council, described how Jenkins believed Liam was a minor and sent seven explicit pictures, including images of himself in various states of undress.
Jenkins also sought explicit images in return.
The tribunal emphasized that such conduct, especially given his drug use and professional position, was deeply serious and undermined public trust in doctors.
The GMC concluded that erasure from the medical register was the appropriate sanction, indicating the severity of his misconduct.
