Before his exposure, Morris Fraser was the ‘Celebrity Doctor’ of his era who had featured in programmes by NBC News about the conflict in the North of Ireland as well as BBC Songs of Praise in 1977, after having been convicted in court for child molestation against a young boy in London on 17May 1972. Aptly, this happened just yards away from the Houses of Parliament and in one of the most metropolitan and expensive locations in London, and yet no media outlet reported on it at all at that time.
In fact, there was a concentrated effort to ensure that not only would Doctor Fraser be given a trial in secret, contrary to media convention, but that the Police would manage the accompanying disgrace this involved by failing to even so much as forward the certification of the conviction to Fraser’s National Health Service employer in May 1972 while knowing in full that he had been employed by the Northern Ireland Hospitals Authority to the post of Senior Registrar in psychiatry at the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children.
