A nurse has been struck off after being convicted of sexual assault.
Silviu Maciuca pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a woman at Aberdeen Sheriff Court last year, and was placed on the sex offenders register for three years.
The 42-year-old Romanian inappropriately touched the woman at an address in Aberdeen on September 27, 2017.
Now the Nursing and Midwifery Council have ruled his fitness to practice is impaired, and agreed to strike him off.
They ruled he had “failed to show any form of remorse” and were concerned there was a “high risk of repetition”.
The judgement stated: “The panel has considered the case very carefully and has decided to make a striking-off order.
“Mr Maciuca was convicted of a sexual offence, which resulted in his inclusion on the sex offenders register for a period of three years.
“There was no evidence before this panel of him demonstrating any remorse, or insight, into his actions. There was also no evidence of remediation or current employment.
“He has not engaged with the NMC and his conduct was a significant departure from the standards expected from a registered nurse.”
