A 33-year-old man has been convicted of sexually assaulting two women while working as a first aider.

Alexander Hughes, of Cwmbran, was found guilty of four sexual offences following a trial at Aylesbury Crown Court in Buckinghamshire.

In July 2014, while working as an Emergency Care Assistant in the High Wycombe area, he touched an 18-year-old woman inappropriately while she was being transported by ambulance.

He later messaged the woman via social media asking if she wanted to exchange indecent photos of one another.

Then, in October 2017, he sexually assaulted an 18-year-old woman in a Bristol nightclub while he was working as the club’s first aider. He was under investigation for the 2014 incident at the time but neglected to inform his employer.

Detective Constable Liz Howell said: “Hughes is a predatory individual who used his position as a first aider to target women while they were particularly vulnerable.

“His victims were shocked to be assaulted by someone they had put their trust in and who they thought was there to help them. I am grateful to them for their bravery in supporting this case.”
