A cardiologist in the crosshairs: The Aschaffenburg verdict
In recent months, the Bavarian town of Aschaffenburg has been the scene of a special court case that caused a stir far beyond the region’s borders. A cardiologist was at the center of charges of raping female patients and other serious allegations.
Allegation of assault during an investigation
Prosecution records included an allegation that the doctor performed inappropriate acts during an ultrasound examination in April 2021. The accusation was that during this examination he put his hand inside the patient’s underwear and penetrated her with his fingers. It was emphasized that these actions were against the express will of the patient.
The inappropriate intervention surprised the victim to such an extent that she was not in a position to defend herself against it. Particularly frightening was the fact that the reason for the examination was heart problems and such an intervention in the intimate area had no necessity according to a medical expert.
Other charges: Infringement and surreptitious recordings
But that was not the only incident. Another incident occurred in September of the same year. Here, another patient was forced to perform unwanted touching.
The cardiologist let the victim touch his private parts and then went too far himself by penetrating the woman with a finger. A third troublesome incident involved the surreptitious filming of a woman. During a conversation in his office, he used his smartphone to secretly take pictures up the skirt of the woman who was in his office as a representative of a laboratory.
The verdict and the consequences of rape of female patients
The court in Aschaffenburg reached its verdict after a thorough examination of the evidence and witness statements. The defendant had admitted the acts during the trial. While the prosecution demanded a prison sentence of three years and four months and a five-year ban from the profession, his defense pleaded for only two years in prison with probation.
