She and Stuart Compton, 45, are accused of conspiring to plan and attack a girl aged under 13.
They have been charged with conspiring to rape a girl aged under 13, to sexually assault her by penetration, to sexually assault her by touching, to kidnap her, and to murder her as well as two counts of making indecent images of a child and one of perverting the course of justice.
It is alleged that Turner, who worked at Cardiff’s University Hospital of Wales, hid a mobile phone on June 25 last year “following the arrest of her partner.”
She is also alleged to have made indecent images in Categories B and C – the second and third most serious types of illegal images of children.
Turner has been suspended from her role at the third largest university hospital in the UK while the case is ongoing.
Turner, of Ninian Road in Roath, Cardiff, pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Compton, in Cathays, Cardiff, has also pleaded not guilty to the same charges.
They both appeared at Cardiff Crown Court earlier this month and are due to stand trial on May 12.
Turner worked in the busy operating theatre at the 800-bed University Hospital in Cardiff until she was suspended after police were contacted.
A spokeswoman for Cardiff and Vale University Health Board said: “The health board suspended the individual once we were made aware of the allegations against them.
“This is a sensitive issue and the health board has been cooperating with partners in South Wales Police.
“We are not able to comment further while court proceeding are ongoing.”

THIS is the selfie that has left an entire country in shock as sick teens posed next to a weeping 92-year-old woman after robbing her.
The masked trio took the twisted snap in front of a mirror while their distressed victim was seen hunched on her bed with her hands tied.

The horrifying moment, captured by the criminals themselves, was posted on social media like a trophy.
The crime took place in the early hours of January 17 in the Vicente Lopez neighbourhood of Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The gang broke into the elderly woman’s home, gagged her, beat her, and tied her to her bed while they ransacked her house for cash and valuables, reports local outlet El Observador.
They stole wedding rings, a gold chain, an iPhone, and 50,000 pesos, which is around £45.
But before making their escape, they stopped to take a chilling memento — a selfie, with their terrified victim caught in the frame.
Hours later, they struck again in a different neighbourhood, targeting another woman.
This time, they took a 32-inch television before fleeing in a Volkswagen Gol Trend, the same car used in their first attack.
Their downfall came from the very photo they flaunted.
Investigators trawling through social media spotted the image, paired with a disturbing caption — “the spark is one, it was” —alongside an electronic dance track.
“It is disgusting,” said one investigator, horrified by the criminals’ brazen display.
Through surveillance footage, witness testimonies, and social media analysis, police identified the gang.
Several raids were carried out in the northern suburbs of Buenos Aires, leading to their capture.
Prosecutor Alejandro Guevara has requested preventive detention and a swift trial for the suspects — three minors and a 26-year-old adult.
All four have been charged with two counts of aggravated robbery.
Natalia Edith González, 39, was arrested for allegedly nabbing the newborn from a hospital in Paraguay – and was just 50 metres from escaping over the Argentine border with it.
It’s believed she was on the hunt for an infant to steal after lying to her family – including her partner – about being pregnant, and identified a target after scouring three hospitals.
Her attempt to abduct the day-old baby was caught on CCTV inside the Barrio Obrero Public Hospital in the Paraguayan capital Asunción.
The suspect, an Argentine national, was reportedly posing as a nurse and wearing a face mask when the one-day-old baby was taken.

MANCHESTER UNITED stars jokingly hit Ruben Amorim as he ran through a birthday gauntlet before training started today.
The Portuguese manager held his back at the end of the player-made tunnel as the squad honoured his 40th birthday.

Amorim was spotted with wife Maria in Wilmslow on Monday
Amorim’s celebrated his milestone age with wife Maria Joao Diogo in Manchester on Monday after United’s 1-0 win over Fulham.
And the celebrations continued at Carrington in front of cameras on Wednesday morning.
Amorim could be seen jokingly pulling and shoving fellow birthday boy Darren Fletcher before sprinting through a corridor of players.
The pair decided to run through the gauntlet together as the squad stood eagerly waiting to give them a wallop as they passed.
Fletcher, who turns 41 on Saturday, emerged first, before Amorim gestured as if he was holding his back from pain.
Club-captain Bruno Fernandes and Chelsea-linked Alejandro Garnacho stood at the start of the tunnel and could be slapping their hands in.
And fans joked that outcasts Marcus Rashford and Casemiro might have been tempted to give Amorim a firmer whack.
Rashford, whose training application has been questioned by Amorim, could be seen getting involved at the end of gauntlet.

Amorim joked that he already feels 10 years older after Lisandro Martinez’ deflected strike earned his side a late win at Craven Cottage on Sunday.
He said: “It’s not 40…I’m 50! After two months at Manchester United, it’s 50. It’s a privilege to spend my 40th birthday here.
“It will be fantastic because we won. Then I will have dinner with my kids.”
Harry Maguire impressed but Alejandro Garnacho once again failed to impress in what could have been his Man Utd farewell amid rumours linking him with Napoli and Chelsea.
Here is how SunSport rated the individual performances.
Andre Onana – 7
Good save low down to his left to keep out an Alex Iwobi shot early doors.
Other than that he was barely tested but no glaring errors mean it is a step in the right direction for the Red Devils No1.
Diogo Dalot – 6
Had a difficult time in the first half up against Iwobi who was Fulham‘s main attacking threat.
Switched to the left flank in the second half and supported Garnacho without posing much of a threat.
Matthijs de Ligt – 8
Another strong showing at the back from the Dutchman. Without his support for Dalot, Fulham may have created a goal down United’s right-hand side.
Harry Maguire – 9
A superb defensive display from the England star who has been one of United’s best players since Amorim took charge.
Pulled off a brilliant header at the back post to deny Rodrigo Muniz a certain goal.
Lisandro Martinez – 8
Superb last-ditch tackle to prevent Emile Smith Rowe from shooting as he burst through on goal.
His goal had a big slice of luck as it was deflected past Bernd Leno but credit to him for having the audacity to shoot.
Noussair Mazraoui – 7
Solid at the back and tried to get forward when he could. United looked more balance with him on the left and Dalot on the right, although the pair swapped at half-time.
Manuel Ugarte – 6
Showed some nice touches and was a bit of a menace in the middle – in a positive and negative sense. Kept a close eye on Smith Rowe and allowed him no time on the ball.
Booked for a foul on Adama Traore and was taken off shortly afterwards with an injury.
Bruno Fernandes – 5
Not at his best. Barely saw the ball in the first half and was not very effective when he did get it.
Amad Diallo – 6
Looked bright on the ball and United’s only real outlet going forward.
He worked tirelessly and pressed really well – his hard work paid off when he found the back of the net in stoppage time but his effort was chalked off.
Alejandro Garnacho – 3
Was cautious on the ball and ran into blind alleys too often. Final ball let him down on the rare occasion he did manage to beat a defender.
Rasmus Hojlund – 4
His hold up play is nowhere near good enough for this system or for a club like United.
He was too gung-ho at times and his erratic nature meant linking up with Amad and Garnacho proved difficult.
Hauled off before the hour mark which says it all about his performance.
Subs:
Leny Yoro (for De Ligt, 58mins) – 6
A more assured display given his shaky start to life in the Premier League.
Joshua Zirkzee (for Hojlund, 58mins) – 5
Like Hojlund he had a difficult time holding the ball up but United improved with him on the pitch.
Toby Collyer (for Ugarte, 76mins ) – 6
Solid display again from the youngster who was often in the right position to clear, including one on the line to stop a Joachim Andersen header from going in.
Kobbie Mainoo (for Garnacho, 80mins) – 6
Provided energy in midfield and shored things up alongside Collyer.
A brilliant one-two with Amad set up the winger to score before VAR ruled Amad offside.
Tyrell Malacia (for Mazraoui, 80mins) – 6
Brought on in an unfamiliar right wing-back role but did what was needed to see out the clean sheet.

A MAJOR social welfare payment date switch up will impact thousands of recipients in just two days.
And An Post have confirmed that some payments may have to be picked up at an alternative location after vicious Storm Eowyn left some post offices out of action.
AlamyPayments will be made days earlier[/caption]
PA:Press AssociationSome post offices remain out of action[/caption]
The date switch-up comes as the recently introduced February bank holidays sees post offices closed on Monday February 3, after St Brigid’s Day on Saturday.
Any social welfare payments that were due to be handed out on this date will instead be paid on either Friday, January 31 or Saturday, February 1.
Child Benefit payment which is usually paid on the first Tuesday of each month will also be paid out on these earlier dates.
The payment will always be made on an earlier date if the Tuesday it is due to be paid out falls after a bank holiday Monday.
This will happen again in May and June of this year following the bank holidays in those months.
The payment date change means many recipients could have their payments in just days, before January is even over.
However, as power outages continue around the country following the storm some people may have to collect their payments elsewhere.
An Post have confirmed that 20 post offices still remain closed today as the ESB continue restoration works.
And they confirmed all payments due for payment today or tomorrow are ready for payment and payments due to be paid last Friday, or yesterday, are waiting to be collected.
Dromindoor and Lisdoonvarna’s Post Offices in Clare both remain closed due to power outages.
However, payments can be collected from Ennis Post Office.
Ahascragh and Glenamaddy in Galway remain closed, with payments available from Ballinasloe Post Office.
Also in Galway Dunmore, Cummer, Clarinbridge and Claddaghduff remain shut with payments available from Galway Post Office on Eglinton Street.
As are Monivea, Miltown-Galway, Lettermore and Leenane.
Cong in Mayo is also closed with payments collectable from Galway Post Office.
WAITING FOR LOCATION
Broadhaven, Geesala and Knock are also shut with payments available at Ballina Post Office.
Mount Nugent in Cavan, Sneem in Kerry, Dowra in Leitrim, Lanesborough in Longford, Drummullin in Roscommon and Latton in Monaghan are all shut.
As are Shannonbridge and Williamstown in Offaly, Ballyfarnon, Knockcroghery and Strokestown also in Roscommon and Coole in Westmeath.
And in Sligo Ballycastle, Liscarney and Aclare are all closed.
In regards to these locations An Post said: ” We are working on identifying the alternative location for DSP payment collection.”

DANNY Jones has revealed he’s chosen to “block out” his father completely after winning I’m a Celebrity helped him finally overcome the scars of feeling abandoned as a child.
The McFly star says his jungle victory over Coleen Rooney and Reverend Richard Coles last year held a deeper meaning, enabling him to finally “feel enough” and put to bed the demons that have troubled him for decades.

InstagramDanny is married to former Miss England Georgia Horsley and has a son Cooper, six[/caption]
Following his parents’ divorce, Danny – who has starred on The Voice and The Masked Singer – admits he has failed to reconnect with his dad, who in a tragic final straw bailed at the last minute when they arranged to reconcile after two decades last year.
The pop icon says he has felt “constantly guilty” for having a happy marriage to former Miss England Georgia Horsley – with whom he shares six-year-old son Cooper – because it’s something his mum Kathy hasn’t had since the split.
In an upcoming chat with The High Performance Podcast, he says he hasn’t had a relationship with Alan since his teen years and when asked if picking up the phone would help, he flatly says: “No.”
Danny, who has now cut off all contact with his dad, continues: “No, because I don’t know him any more. He doesn’t know me and I don’t recognise his voice.
“I didn’t choose to be born, he chose to have me. I could never leave my son and I’d be fighting to speak to him, and yet my dad isn’t. Why should I bother?
“I think it would bring more problems in my life if I had him back in my life, so I have to block it out and say ‘That’s over.'”
Danny’s relationship with Alan became strained after his parents split up, which left him in a “cold, damp, dark house” with his mum, who struggled in the aftermath.
He suspects the tensions first emerged when he challenged his dad, explaining: “I think because I sat down with him and said ‘Can you not just sort it out with mum?’
“Your kids should be your first thought and I didn’t feel like that with my dad – he left us and you’re just abandoned. Like ‘I idolised you and now you’ve just gone’.

“He had some issues as well. I wish I’d known what I know now to be able to go ‘Dad, talk to me, let’s talk about it’.
“I was always scared of talking because talking in my house always ended up in conflict and fights.
“I wish I could have gone for a beer or a coffee with my dad and just gone ‘Are you ok, what’s going on, tell me?'”
Brutal rejection
After decades apart, last year Danny agreed to meet his father when he flew over from Spain to attend a pal’s birthday.
He says he was “buzzing” at the idea of reconciling, only for Alan at the last minute to cancel, stating he would attend the party but not travel to London to see his son.
The star said the last time he spoke to his father other than that, after many years, was in a phone call to say he’d got engaged.
But even then Alan annoyed him by telling Danny how he had been carrying £500 beer barrels up the stairs in his pub, adding that amount of money did not mean much to his celeb son.
The long-standing rift haunted Danny, who believed it was actually winning I’m A Celebrity – alongside “various therapy, for different reasons” – that finally cleansed him of his difficult emotions and feelings of abandonment.
He says things came to an emotional head when talking to the ITV show’s welfare team as he sat with the crown on his head, “stinking” and starving after losing six kilos.
I felt guilty for cuddling at night – I was like ‘my mum’s not got anyone’. I wasn’t living my life because I felt so much pain for my mum. It was hurting me too much
Danny Jones
Danny recalls: “She said ‘How are you?’ And it was just me and this therapist. I was like ‘I think I’m on top of the world, I think I’m alright’.
“And I hadn’t really connected with anybody in the outside world by this point…
“I’ve just been on a show where someone’s voting for me, but not just me, but me when I’m hungry, when I’m tired, when I’m covered in stuff that I don’t want to be covered in.
“It’s the worst of me. And she just said to me ‘So do you feel enough?’ And I just burst out into tears. It’s like ‘Oh my God, maybe I am’.
“That was like one moment where I was like ‘Woah, I have never felt that emotion’. I’ve never asked that to myself or been asked that.
“So for me that was like one of the most rewarding moments I think I’ve ever had in my life, because yeah I think I am.”

InstagramYoung Danny was ‘abandoned’ by his dad and says they have had two calls in 20 years[/caption]
While Danny is grateful to have moved past the pain of his childhood, he can see how the trauma bled into his own relationship with his stunning wife Georgia Horsley.
He met her at a Miss London event in 2008, while she was the reigning Miss England, and he credits her with having helped him battle anxiety and panic attacks that plagued him from the age of 19.
Danny believes a lot of his struggles stem from “all the loss” – including his dad’s abandonment, the death of his grandparents, which led him to suffer “night terrors”, and the death of his “best, best mate more recently”.
And at times, the McFly frontman – who married Georgia in 2014 – was crippled with “guilt” over having such a great relationship.
He explains: “I felt guilty for cuddling at night – I was like ‘my mum’s not got anyone’. I wasn’t living my life because I felt so much pain for my mum. It was hurting me too much.”
‘Like a tornado’
Recalling his childhood, Danny reflects: “For me, my parents are like your first idols.
“Getting in a band and coming back to a house that wasn’t home any more – that had happy memories – I was healing from that and I was catching up from there.
“There was this song called ‘Last Mistake’ – that’s actually never been released – about the very first time I went home and I saw this house that used to be a home and I was explaining how cold it was and dark.
“I didn’t want to go home and go to this dark place where my mum was in bits over this divorce. Seeing my mum like that it wasn’t very nice.
Danny Jones could be 'next Olly Murs', says PR expert
Danny Jones is worth more than £4million and is set to make considerably more money since his I’m A Celebrity win last year.
PR expert Carla Speight, who’s launched the PR Mastery App, predicts advertisers will be lining up to work with him.
She believes he could become the “next Olly Murs”, should he want to transition to presenting where he would be seen as a “safe pair of hands” for ITV shows or to rescue flailing formats.
Having endeared himself to an army of fans on The Voice, The Masked Singer and MasterChef, prior to I’m A Celebrity, Carla suspects the only way is up for him.
Part of the reason for this is because he “appears to be a genuine and a real family man”, which the public “latch onto, especially in the wake of the Gregg Wallace scandal”.
But Carla says Danny could make an even vaster fortune should he follow in the footsteps of Take That and take advantage of his huge fanbase and go solo.
She adds: “The world is his oyster really, he’s loved, very genuine and massively popular. The future is very bright for him.”

“From what I thought was an amazing perfect family home to this destruction and this cold, damp, dark house – I didn’t want to be there. It was like a tornado, getting bigger and bigger.
“My dad used to do the little things like the DIY, and like the curtains were falling down or the shelf was hanging down.
“I was like ‘My mum’s here on her own’. I used to feel guilty for having a good relationship because my mum didn’t have one.”
Thankfully Danny seems to have moved past those problems, describing himself as being in a “good place”, thanks to behaviours including going to the gym, getting good sleep, visualising and “mouth taping”.

The latter is a technique that forces people to breathe through their nose while sleeping, which is favoured by the likes of footballers including Erling Haaland.
Danny also follows an 80/20 diet plan, which comprises 80 per cent being good, 20 per cent bad, meaning he’s strict during the week and can “enjoy yourself at the weekends”.
Reflecting on his journey to happiness he says: “It was healing and I’ve learned something about myself – that I still need to heal. I clearly have something that is still hurting.
“I think I’m healing from a lot of things. I’ve had various therapy for different reasons, but I’m trying to find another one now.”
Previously, when Danny was on I’m A Celebrity, Alan said he believed their falling out was due to his son siding with his mum in the divorce.
He told the Daily Mail: “I think because he loves his mum so much he’s protected her, and I think any reunion with me, and this is only my opinion, would upset his mum. I don’t think he wants to do that and I understand that.
Prior to this recent interview, Alan claimed he wanted to reach out again to Danny to try to make amends.
He said: “At the end of the day I can sleep at night, I know he’s okay, he’s safe…
“But I would like to think if anything bad happened, like an accident or something, that someone would message me to let me know, and I don’t know if that would happen…
“But hopefully one day we’ll have that pint, sooner rather than later, time’s getting on.”
