Stephen Simpson, who posed as a medical student at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, did not show up for his sentencing, prompting police to issue an arrest warrant. He had previously admitted to fraudulently accessing hospital wards and patient files while dressed in NHS attire between December 2023 and January 2024.
Simpson's defense attorney indicated that he had been in contact with him, but he failed to appear in court, citing a migraine during a prior scheduled sentencing. He pleaded guilty to two charges related to his impersonation and theft of NHS property.
