Nurse who called transgender paedophile ‘Mr’ is suspended after investigation

A senior nurse who addressed a transgender paedophile as ‘Mister’ has been suspended after speaking to The Mail on Sunday.

Jennifer Melle, 40, was previously investigated and disciplined by NHS bosses despite being called the N-word three times by the patient, a convicted sex offender, who lunged at her.

Now, after a four-minute meeting with a manager last week, she was suspended, ordered to collect her belongings and escorted out of St Helier Hospital in Carshalton, Surrey, in tears.

Last night Tory leader Kemi Badenoch described Ms Melle’s treatment as ‘completely crazy’. She said: ‘She has my full support. It’s time the Government pulls its finger out and intervenes to make it clear no one should be punished at work for stating biological reality to paedophiles.’

Ugandan-born Ms Melle, from Croydon, South London, spoke to this newspaper last month about her ordeal. She said that in response to being called ‘he’ rather than ‘she’, the paedophile, known as Patient X, flew into a rage and left her fearing for her safety.

The nurse has now been told she faces investigation over a ‘potential breach’ of patient information.
