A St. Louis neurosurgeon was jailed for two years in Glasgow for sexually assaulting a woman at a nightclub.

This is a sentence on a verdict that is already in, not a new accusation. Molina pleaded not guilty and testified. The jury rejected his account, and the judge said he could not ignore what he called the predatory nature of the conduct. The professional fallout, a resigned faculty post and a lost medical license, came before the sentence. The court took that into account and still sent him to prison.

Dr. Camilo Molina, 40, a neurosurgeon from St. Louis, was sentenced Wednesday, Oct. 21, 2026, to two years in prison for sexually assaulting a 20-year-old woman at the Kong nightclub in Glasgow in April 2025, the Daily Mail reported. The Glasgow Times and STV News reported the sentence was imposed at Glasgow Sheriff Court. The Daily Mail reported Molina had pleaded not guilty and was found guilty last month, and that he was also placed on the sex offenders register for 10 years. Crime Talk Network does not name victims of sexual assault, and the woman is not identified here.

The Daily Mail reported prosecutors said Molina and several friends had traveled to Scotland for a medical conference and began drinking in Glasgow's West End at around 7 p.m. on April 5, 2025, before going to the club. The outlet reported prosecutor Leo McGinn said CCTV played in court showed Molina approach the woman from across the bar and place his hand under her skirt, and that a security guard testified she looked like she was crying afterward. Prosecutors alleged Molina pretended to be a police officer when he met her, the Daily Mail reported, a claim he denied in his testimony. He testified that "nothing overtly sexual" happened and said the contact was flirtatious and consensual. The jury did not accept his account. A jury verdict is a conviction, and Wednesday's hearing was the court's judgment on it.

The Daily Mail reported judge Paul Reid KC told Molina: "There have been significant consequences for you in regard to your license to practice medicine and the loss of your home." The outlet reported the judge said that despite the "high regard" in which Molina is held by family, friends, colleagues and patients, he "cannot ignore the predatory nature of your behavior." Defense attorney John Scullion told the court the consequences of the conviction "have been catastrophic," the Daily Mail reported, saying Molina had resigned from Washington University and that his license to practice medicine had been revoked. The outlet reported Molina had been deputy director of spine innovation and an associate professor at Washington University in St. Louis, that he was born in Colombia, and that he lives in a $2 million home in St. Louis. Molina told the court his wife has stood by him.

The Daily Mail reported police said Molina was caught approaching the woman from behind. The Daily Mail reported Scullion did not immediately respond to a request for further comment, and no outlet reported whether Molina plans to appeal the conviction or the sentence. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. That presumption governed Molina's trial, and it ended when the jury returned its verdict in September. Wednesday's two-year term is the sentence on that conviction.
