A digestive system specialist at a private clinic in Alicante is facing a request for eight years in prison following allegations of sexual assault and degrading treatment. The charges relate to the care provided to two female patients during medical examinations.
The most serious incident reportedly involves a woman who attended a consultation in August 2023. During the appointment, the specialist performed a rectal examination and allegedly touched the patient’s intimate parts. The victim, who is a nurse by profession, is said to have suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder following the encounter.
The prosecution also attributes inappropriate conduct to the doctor during similar examinations involving a second patient. This woman had previously attended a consultation in 2021 but only filed an official complaint in August 2023, after learning that another person had reported a similar experience.
The specialist is facing a potential sentence of eight years for the alleged sexual assault of one patient and for the degrading treatment attributed to his actions towards both women. The trial is scheduled to take place today, Thursday May 7th, at the Provincial Court of Alicante.
