‘Chernobyl radiation test’ abuser gets further jail time

Mr McElroy said: “The man recalled he felt terrified and dismayed throughout this examination by Beaumont.”

Beaumont later told the man the MoD were “happy” with the test results – but added that further checks on the victim were required.

In a diary entry, the student wrote: “Today I had to give J samples, which was embarrassing, but joy, all is over now. Free again.”

He calculated that Beaumont subjected him to being jabbed by a syringe more than 50 times.

The second male victim said Beaumont told him he needed to assess radiation in his body and was instructed to sign the Official Secrets Act.

The third student described Beaumont as very convincing, leading her to undress in front of him before being assaulted.

Janice Green, defending, asked the judge to make the sentences run concurrently.

She said: “There was no physical injury but psychological harm which is more connected to the breach of trust as the victims all believed for a long time that they were part of research.

“It wasn’t until 2017 when matters were public that they became aware.

“They came forward in 2022 and it is not clear why that was.

“If these matters had been prosecuted along with the other offences, it is unlikely to have been a greater sentence than 13-and-a-half years.”
