63-year-old Doctor Arraigned For Having Sex With Mentally-ill Patients

Doctor docked for having sex with mentally deranged patients.

A 63-year-old doctor accused of having sex with his mentally ill patients was on Monday arraigned in the Southern German State of Bavari.

The prosecution said that the doctor, who was not identified under Germany’s strict privacy laws, exploited the state of his three female patients and had sex with them without administering treatment on them.

According to the prosecution, the doctor had regularly asked mentally ill patients to come to his surgery between 2012 and 2015 usually in the late evening hours, saying sex was part of the therapy.

“A trained psychotherapist, the doctor committed the acts either in his practice or in the women’s homes.

“He could face imprisonment of three months to five years if found guilty,’’ the prosecution said.

He said one of the women eventually alerted the police.
