His midwife, Winifred Horton, is charged with aiding and abetting him. Miss Thomson had originally consulted him seeking an abortion. He had rejected her request, but recommended adoption, to which she agreed at the time. She now says in court that she changed her mind. However, the prosecution alleges that he prevented a natural birth and carried out a caesarean section to prevent her from bonding with the newborn child; and furthermore, that he then sold the baby for adoption. He denies the charge, and asserts that the operation was wholly necessary as a result of poor medical treatment by Miss Boden, another midwife. He admits to acting as a negotiator for adoptions, but insists he never charges for that service. Written by Alan Briscoe See less
