News: Doctor arrested for raping pregnant woman while she was giving birth (Photos)
An anaesthetist has been arrested for allegedly raping a pregnant woman during a C-section and he is also reported to have carried out attacks on two more mothers on the same day.
Giovanni Quintella Bezerra, 32, was apprehended on suspicion of rape after he was reportedly secretly filmed orally raping a woman after he heavily sedated her at the Hospital da Mulher in São João de Meriti, Rio de Janeiro.
The woman’s husband was asked to leave the room and only found out about what had happened to his wife when he recognized the doctor on television after his arrest.
“I’ve never seen anything like it,” said delegate Barbara Lomba, who is in charge of investigating the case.
The woman shared with her family that she thought she was having a hallucination at the time of the sexual attack.
Hospital staff were reportedly worried about the amount of drugs Bezerra was giving to his patients. The doctor is said to have used so much anaesthetic that the mothers would be unable to hold their babies after delivering.
So, suspicious staff members fitted a secret camera to see what he was up to. They were horrified to see him sexually assaulting the woman.
He reportedly assaulted her sexually for almost ten minutes.
Staff members who recorded the rape said the doctor had already carried out two similar procedures that day, with police investigating whether those two women were also victims of attack.
In the second operation on Sunday, July 10, employees said Giovanni “wore an open cloak on himself, widening his silhouette, and positioned himself in a way that also prevented anyone from seeing the patient from the neck up.”
The doctor was earlier transferred to the prison of Benfica. The custody hearing of the doctor was held on Tuesday, July 12. He is facing charges of rape with a prison sentence ranging from 8 to 15 years in Brazil.
