"Dr Martin Kuper, 57, is accused of flashing himself in front of the woman as she sunbathed in Battersea Park in April last year, only a few months before he left his role at the NHS trust. Wimbledon Magistrates' Court heard Oxford-educated Dr Kuper is then accused of groping a female police officer once he had been detained. The incident took place in Battersea Park on April 28 2025, said prosecutor Barbara Valentini."
"Dr Kuper appeared in the dock on Wednesday to plead not guilty to charges of exposure and sexual assault. He was appointed as chief executive of Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust in September 2021 and held the role for almost four years until his departure in July last year. Prior to that role, Dr Kuper was chief medical director at Northwick Park Hospital in north-west London and he previously held a senior post at Whittington Hospital in north London."
