Emergency Worker Convicted of Shocking Ambulance Assault
Marcus Gunn, 58, from Swerford, has been found guilty of sexual assault and assault by penetration at Oxford Crown Court. The verdict came after a four-day trial that wrapped up last Friday.
Trust Betrayed During Hospital Journey
Gunn, who works as an emergency care assistant, attacked a female patient in her fifties while transporting her to hospital in December 2022. The chilling assault happened inside the ambulance. He was charged in May last year, with the crime described as a stark betrayal of the trust placed in him by his vulnerable victim.
Detective Praises Victim’s Bravery
Detective Sergeant Victoria Griffiths from Banbury Police praised the woman’s courage for coming forward. “We take these reports extremely seriously,” she said, underscoring the commitment to justice for victims.
Sentencing Date Set for September
Marcus Gunn will be sentenced at Oxford Crown Court on September 9th. The community awaits the judge’s decision on this grim case.
