A Hobart nurse has been suspended from practice for 12 years after he was convicted of raping a woman he had met on a dating app in 2022.

Wyatt Alexander Griffin was 25 years old when he was sentenced to four years' jail, with a non-parole period of two years, in February 2024 for the rape of a woman who had moved to Tasmania to undertake an undergraduate nursing program with the Department of Health.

He had engaged with the woman, known as Miss A in court documents, on Tinder before communication switched to Snapchat, and the pair decided to meet up.

After the meeting, they went back to her sharehouse, where consensual oral sex occurred.

The woman told Griffin later that she did not want to pursue any sort of sexual relationship in future and that she preferred a platonic friendship.
