American neurosurgeon Camilo Molina has been jailed for two years after sexually assaulting a woman at a Glasgow nightclub.
Camilo Molina, 40, a neurosurgeon from St Louis, Missouri, was sentenced to two years in prison for sexually assaulting a woman at Kong nightclub in Glasgow city centre on 5 April 2025. The victim, then 20 years old, was approached from behind by Molina, who touched her intimately under her skirt.
Molina was a deputy director of spine innovation at Washington University in Ohio and an associate professor. He resigned from his hospital post following his conviction last month and has lost his licence to practise medicine. Sheriff Paul Reid described Molina's behaviour as 'predatory' and noted that the victim was 'clearly impacted' by what happened. The sheriff also stated that Molina had 'abused your friendship and violated her inexplicably' and had afterwards labelled her a prostitute, which she was not.
Molina has been placed on the sex offenders register for ten years. He remains married and retains the support of his wife. The court heard that Molina had been in Glasgow for a conference.
