An eminent cosmetic surgeon who was secretly filmed performing a sex act on himself in his clinic by a German dominatrix has said he regrets his actions, but protested that she had instigated events.
Marion Burton, 51, known as Mistress J in her former occupation as a £5,000-per-month dominatrix, told a disciplinary panel that Dr Tony Walker, 53, performed a sex act on himself in front of her on several occasions as she lay on the treatment table.
A General Medical Council panel is determining whether Dr Walker's fitness to practise is impaired because of his actions and could strike him off the medical register.
Mrs Burton secretly recorded Dr Walker on their last consultation at the surgery in Maidenhead, Berkshire, because she said she wanted to expose him to the authorities.
In September 2009 she was cleared by a jury of blackmailing the private cosmetic surgeon by allegedly demanding £20,000 after obtaining the covert footage.
Her husband Terry Burton pleaded guilty to blackmailing Dr Walker and was jailed for three-and-a-half years.
Defending his action to the GMC fitness to practise panel, Walker admitted he should not have responded to any advances and that his behaviour was inappropriate.
Dr Walker, from Kings Norton, Birmingham, admitted to panel that he engaged in sexual activity in the presence of Mrs Burton and that he sent her a string of text messages which were sexual in nature, and accepts the behaviour was sexually motivated.
Dr Walker also said he had 'acted atrociously' to his wife, Yvonne, and grown-up sons James and Luke after he suffered a life-threatening ruptured bowel in 2005.
The panel, sitting in Manchester, heard that Dr Walker's wife left him days after he was convicted of assaulting her in June 2008, for which he received a community sentence and was ordered to pay compensation.
That formed part of his defence as, when asked by his barrister, James Counsell, why he had allowed the sexual activity to take place, Dr Walker replied: 'I don't honestly know, I think I was at a very, very low ebb.
'Someone was showing me some affection and I let it happen.
'It was my responsibility not to let it happen but I did, and that I regret.'
However, Dr Walker refuted some of Mrs Burton's claims, saying she had performed a sex act on him and 'moaned in pleasure' when he reciprocated while she was 'dressed like a prostitute'.Maidenhead, in the home of a fellow cosmetic professional.
Several follow-up appointments took place before Dr Walker recalled a meeting in June 2008 when he said Mrs Burton asked if he could prescribe her the 'party drug' ketamine. He said he refused.
A month later he received a text message to his mobile phone from Mrs Burton.
It read: 'Hi Doc Feelgood. How are you this morning? Still need to do work on me (sad face symbol).
'When will you have time to take care of me? x Marion x The German'.
Dr Walker told the panel he shouldn't have replied or let himself become involved in an exchange of flirtatious messages for several months.
He accepted sexual activity took place during two consultations, one in September 2008 and one the following month.
Describing the first occasion in September 2008, Dr Walker said: 'She got on to the couch and I prepared the Botox.
'When I had the Botox ready, she rubbed her hand against the fly area of my trousers and I didn't stop her.'
He said the pair did not talk during the incident as he held a swab in one hand and a needle in the other. He then gave her the Botox treatment.
A month later she arrived at the clinic wearing a very short skirt, a plunging top, high heels and what appeared to be stockings, he said.
'She was dressed like a prostitute - I'm ashamed to say that,' he said.
'I thought I was being sexually enticed. That it was being done for my benefit.'
He then explicitly described performing a sex act on her, and on himself with her help.
'She enjoyed what was happening. She encouraged it and instigated it.'
He told the panel he was not aware that Mrs Burton was attempting to film the activity and that he thought she was a single mortgage broker, not a married professional dominatrix.
Mrs Burton admitted to the panel last December that Dr Walker didn't know she was a dominatrix earning up to £5,000 a month.
Her husband, Terry Burton, was jailed for three-and-a-half years for threatening to pass the video footage on to a newspaper and the GMC unless Dr Walker paid him cash.
Mrs Burton captured video of the consultation in September 2008 with a spy camera concealed in a handbag with a peephole but mistakenly deleted the footage.
She returned and recorded him again in October 2008 with the handbag placed on her stomach.
The former BT apprentice qualified as a doctor at the University of Malta at the age of 40 and later worked at a variety of hospitals in the Birmingham area, at Long Lartin and Blakenhurst prisons and at an Army base in Lichfield.
Dr Walker eventually set up his own business, The Walker Clinic, at his home, offering Botox and other cosmetic surgery, as well as children's vaccinations.
He told the panel that the Botox industry was not regulated and anyone could practise.
