A Brazilian doctor has been caught assaulting a sedated pregnant woman while she underwent cesarean section.
According to UK Sun, the anaesthetist identified as Giovanni Quintella Bezerra has been arrested for “rape”.
This followed after he was secretly filmed sticking his penis into the mouth of the woman who was unconscious.
It was said that he had heavily sedated her at the Hospital da Mulher in São João de Meriti, Rio de Janeiro.
In a video making the rounds on social media, the anaesthetist could be seen undoing his fly and assaulting the woman as other doctors performed the C-section on her less than a metre away behind a surgical curtain.
It was said that the other doctors were worried about the number of drugs he administered to the woman, so they fitted a secret camera.
The police and other state authorities said they are investigating whether the anaesthetist has other victims.
It is understood that Bezerra only completed his medical training in anaesthesia two months prior.
Speaking on the development, the health foundation of the state of Rio de Janeiro and the secretary of state for health said: “We inform you that an internal investigation will be opened to take administrative measures.
“The Hospital da Mulher team is providing full support to the victim and her family. This behaviour constitutes a crime, which must be punished in accordance with the legislation in force.”
