Esho is said to have had sex with the patient, a popular provider of OnlyFans and webcams, at his Newcastle clinic in 2021.

Tribunal documents show the patient visited the doctor after hearing about a designer lip procedure he usually performed on his wealthy clients at his clinics in Harley Street, Wimbledon, Newcastle and Dubai.
