** A former Huddersfield paramedic, who became disabled after jumping off a bridge last year, has been clear of sexually touching a drunk female patient, 18, during a hospital transport. That is the word from The Huddersfield Daily Examiner (Martin Shaw/June 15) which said Dale Kirby, 35, was cleared of assault by digital penetration x 2 for an incident that allegedly took place November 30, 2014. According to the newspaper, Kirby became a quadriplegic after jumping off a bridge during previous deliberations in which the jury failed to reach a verdict. The first jury was not apprised of why Kirby was absent, while the second jury was told he was infirm and heavily medicated. Kirby has consistently denied the charges, saying the EMS unit’s movement and the girl’s own thrashing led to him inadvertently touching her between her legs.
