Doctor Arrested For Raping Pregnant Woman During Childbirth

A 32-year-old anesthesiologist named Giovanni Quintella Bezerra was arrested for allegedly raping a pregnant woman during a caesarean section, and it is also believed he may have assaulted two other mothers on the same day.

The 32-year-old anesthesiologist has been arrested on suspicion of rape after he was allegedly secretly filmed orally raping a woman after heavily sedating her at 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 what had happened to his wife when he recognized the doctor on television after his arrest.

“I’ve never seen anything like it,” said Barbara Lomba, delegate in charge of investigating the case.

The woman told her family that she thought she was hallucinating at the time of the sexual assault.

Hospital staff were reportedly concerned about the amount of medication Bezerra was administering to his patients.

The doctor would use so much anesthetic that the mothers would be unable to hold their babies after they were born.

So suspicious employees set up a secret camera to see what he was up to.

They were horrified to see him sexually abusing the woman.

He reportedly sexually assaulted her for nearly ten minutes.

Staff who recorded the rape said the doctor had already performed two similar procedures that day, with police investigating whether these two women were also victims of the attack.

At the second operation, on Sunday, July 10, staff said Giovanni was “wearing an open cloak over himself, widening his silhouette and positioning himself so that no one could see the patient from the neck up either.”

With most cesareans, the woman is not fully sedated during the procedure, but the women who were put under the knife earlier in the day said they were completely unconscious during the procedure.

One of the patients said, “The only thing I remember from the operation is his voice.

He was talking softly in my ear, it bothered me. He asked if I was okay.”

Two other people who said they were also Bezerra’s patients have arrived at the police station in Brazil since the allegations broke.

“Giovanni, still positioned towards the patient’s neck and head, began slow back-and-forth movements with his left arm bent,” the witness said, according to G1 Rio de Janeiro.

“From the movement and curvature of the arm, it appeared as if it were holding the patient’s head toward his pelvic region.”

The doctor was previously transferred to Benfica prison.

The doctor’s custody hearing was held on Tuesday, July 12.

He faces a charge of rape with a prison sentence of between 8 and 15 years in Brazil.
