A Qatari camel herder who sexually assaulted a woman at a specialist heart clinic blamed the attack on having ‘little interaction’ with women in his home country.
Nasser Al-Gherainiq has been jailed for seven years and will be deported after his release after dragging the woman into the toilet at the world famous Royal Brompton Hospital in Chelsea, southwest London.
The 27-year-old had travelled to Britain for treatment for a rare heart condition. He dragged the woman inside the toilet cubicle on August 23, 2023, and sexually assaulted her for five minutes, Southwark Crown Court heard.
He denied two counts of attempted rape and claimed that as a member of a conservative Bedouin tribe in Qatar he would not have had much contact with women outside his family.
Jane Bickerstaff KC, defending, said: 'Until July 2023 he had never left Qatar.
