A GP accused of depositing his semen in a cup of tea before giving it to a woman has appeared in court.

Dr Nicholas Chapman, 54, was suspended from North Curry Health Centre in Taunton, Somerset, magistrates heard.

It is alleged the victim discovered the substance at the bottom of her mug after finishing the drink on September 13 last year.

Prosecutors said the incident was reported to police three days later.

The South African-born medic, of Kingston St Mary, Somerset, yesterday denied a charge of attempting to cause a woman aged 16 or over to engage in sexual activity without her consent.

He was released on bail and, after electing a jury trial, will appear at Taunton crown court next month.

Dr Chapman was ordered not to contact any named witnesses by chairman of the bench Valerie Castell.

Nigel Yeo, defending, said Dr Chapman lives with his partner and part time with a child, and all of his ‘community ties’ are in the UK, MailOnline reports.
