Former WashU School of Medicine Associate Professor Camilo Molina was convicted of sexually assaulting a woman at a nightclub in Glasgow, Scotland, last April and no longer works for the University. 

Forty-year-old Molina, a spine-fellow-trained neurosurgeon who ran his own lab at the School of Medicine and worked within the Hope Center for Neurological Disorders, was attending a conference in Glasgow. The 32nd International Meeting on Advanced Spine Techniques was held by the Scoliosis Research Society in Glasgow at that time. 

Molina assaulted a 20-year-old woman at Kong, a nightclub in Glasgow. Charges were filed after the event last spring, and Molina’s conviction came this September through the Scottish judicial system. 

Sheriff Paul Reid presented the charges against Molina in Scotland. Student Life reached out to the Judiciary of Scotland’s communications office for confirmation on key details in the case but was denied access. 

“The judiciary do not comment on cases,” Judiciary Communications Manager Alice Faulkner wrote. 

Molina’s information has been wiped from every WashU Med page. The page explaining his receipt of the 2026 WashU Medicine Dean’s Impact Award, his lab page, and his faculty page all no longer contain any mention of Molina or his work. 

Student Life reached out to Molina’s undergraduate lab assistant but did not receive a response. Student Life also reached out to several of Molina’s former colleagues at the medical school and was redirected to the medical school’s marketing and communications team. 

“Dr. Molina is no longer employed by Washington University,” wrote Jessica Church, director of media relations for WashU School of Medicine.
