I grew up in Loughborough. Where we had the fake paramedic.
'Paramedic impersonator' denies charge
A man accused of indecently assaulting a girl by posing as a paramedic has denied he was on a "power trip".

Gary Brooks, 30, from Loughborough, is charged with assaulting a 19-year-old girl she lay almost unconscious outside a bar.

He approached the stricken teenager, who had become violently ill at the Barracuda bar in Loughborough, Leicestershire, on 14 March.

But he denies any attack took place - insisting at Leicester Crown Court that he was qualified to help and was simply trying to assist the teenager.

Mr Brooks told a jury he was schooled in first aid and qualified as a "basic emergency medical technician" through an organisation called Paramedics UK.

But he said he had been prevented from becoming a fully qualified paramedic due to his dyslexia and is unable to read or write.

He said on the night of the incident he wore a reversible fluorescent jacket emblazoned with the words "emergency medical technician" (which were mis-spelled).

But he insisted he had nothing else to wear and that he went over to his alleged victim only because he considered it his duty as a first-aider to help.

When Avik Mukherjee, prosecuting, suggested he had been on a "power trip", Mr Brooks said: "I didn't impersonate a paramedic. I was trying to do my best."

Mr Brooks denies indecent assault as a result of the incident.

The trial continues.

Where I grew up and currently live
We have a currently ongoing trial concerning a prominent doctor getting 10-17 yo boys to masturbate in front of and with him as part of a 'medical trial' (he took their blood before & after and paid them cash) and getting one of the boys addicted to medical grade morphine that he stole from the surgery.

Obviously he's had his license torn up now.
