The doctor Giovanni Quintella Bezerra was arrested and booked in the act, in the early hours of this Monday, for rape. According to the news portal g1, the anesthesiologist abused a patient while she was doped and was undergoing a cesarean section at the Women’s Hospital in Vilar dos Teles, São João Meriti, a municipality in Baixada Fluminense.
The investigation began after health facility officials became suspicious of the doctor’s conduct and filmed him putting his penis into a patient’s mouth as he was participating in her delivery. The recording was handed over to investigators from the São João de Meriti Women’s Office.
The doctor’s defense could not be reached for comment on the case.
By means of a note, the Fundação Saúde do Estado do Rio de Janeiro and the State Department of Health affirm that they “vehemently repudiate the conduct of the anesthesiologist” and “are at the disposal of the police, collaborating with the investigation”.
The bodies also inform “that an internal investigation will be opened to take administrative measures, in addition to notification to Cremerj. The team at the Women’s Hospital is providing full support to the victim and her family”. The text also highlights that the case, “in addition to deserving our repudiation, constitutes a crime, which must be punished in accordance with the legislation in force”.
