Ex-doctor Michael Salmon who worked at ‘Jimmy Savile’ hospital given four more years behind bars
The 81-year-old who worked Stoke Mandeville Hospital saw his jail sentence increase to 22 years
A PERVERT doctor jailed for abusing girl patients at a hospital where Jimmy Savile preyed on kids was caged for another four years yesterday.
Retired Dr Michael Salmon faced another trial and was convicted of new sex crimes last Monday after more victims came forward.
The 81-year-old - who tried the gag The Sun when he was first investigated – worked at the Stoke Mandeville Hospital in Aylesbury, Bucks.
At the same time the paedo Jim’ll Fix It star also attacked kids there.
The jury found him guilty at Reading crown court of 14 new counts of indecent assault in the 1970s and 80s.
Disgraced Salmon had already been jailed for 18 years last February for raping a girl twice and indecently assaulting five others as young as 12.
That already meant he would probably die in prison.
But Judge Johanna Cutts QC increased his prison term to 22 years yesterday.
She said: "Last year following a trial at this court you were convicted of two offences of rape and eight offences of indecent assault of six girls aged between 12 and 18.
"As a result of the publicity which arose during and after that trial other women came forward to say they too were indecently assaulted by you during medical examinations be you when they were children.

She added: "You have never showed the slightest contrition or remorse for your actions."
An NSPCC spokesman said: "It beggars belief that a man responsible for looking after children committed so many vile assaults against those in his care.
