Security cameras may be needed in ambulances to protect both patients and paramedics, the ambulance union said today, after one of its members was cleared of digital rape of a drug user.

Although found not guilty, former paramedic Simon Paul Howe must now fight through arbitration to get his job back, after the Metropolitan Ambulance Service (MAS) last year sacked him for contract breaches related to the incident.

Mr Howe, 33, was yesterday acquitted in court of indecently assaulting a patient in the back of an ambulance.

Ambulance Employees Australia (AEA) state secretary Steve McGhie today said the allegations and the refusal of the MAS to support Mr Howe had paramedics worried.

"Ambulance paramedics throughout Victoria are very concerned that they could be put in a vulnerable position with a patient or a relative of a patient that might make serious allegations against them, and their employers will not support them," Mr McGhie said. - source: News Australia

"Digital rape is is the act of using fingers to violate and force a sexual and violent act upon an unwilling victim", say the urban dictionary. I understand, this does not just mean fingers but can also be sticks, bottles, etc.  How cruel!  And why is this called digital, that's beyond me.
