A Tokyo court has accepted a doctor’s defence that his breast groping constituted “medical treatment” and handed down a rare verdict of innocence.
The 60-year-old Tokyo doctor was accused of indecently assaulting 3 female patients in their twenties at his mental health clinic after they complained of him groping their breasts. Prosecutors sought a 4 year sentence.
The presiding judge accepted his arguments that “he was checking for side effects from the medication he prescribed the women, despite there being no nurse present and him not having kept complete records.”
In the case of one women who he had strip off in order to touch her genitals, he was “diagnosing a women who worked in the sex trade.”
Regarding the repeated complaints levelled against him, “whilst it cannot be said his choice of medical procedure was necessarily without issue, his explanation is not unreasonable and his motives not obscene.” The judge did however urge him to stop upsetting his patients.
Good Job
Why do the women got checked up on an old man doctor ?
The doctor also should be more careful next time not
to ‘grope’ breast or something similar like that..
Why not examine while fully-dressed ?
That’d be like trying to replace spark plugs on a car with the hood closed.
But I digress, doing it without warning is bad form.
LMAO If this was some sort of cancer patients or general body check up. Then it could be very logical reason. But a mental health clinic? That is prime target of vulnerable people for sex offenders because you can just mask it. Unless their was evidence proving that the medicine they where taking could cause breast cancer. No ground to check the breasts.
Checking a sex trade worker? Well if that is true, then what was he doing? Checking for STD?
What a creep, whom seems to have got away with s♥♥t.
I’m surprised to hear that Japan has mental health clinics.
Girls seriously let the doctor check your breast …..
I mean what if you have Breast cancer ?
