Doctor raped woman during abortion in

A doctor allegedly raped a
woman during an
abortion procedure two weeks after he
masturbated in front of her during a physical
examination, a court has heard.
According to Tribune 242 , after Dr. Gerald Mark
Forbes informed the 20-year-old she would need
a medical examination to work at his clinic in
Freeport, the Bahamas, last February, he was
alleged to have rubbed her vagina and
masturbated before her.
The report added that two week’s later, after
the victim asked him to terminate a pregnancy,
he was accused of raping her during the
procedure.
The 47-year-old is also said to have given the
alleged victim a packet of Methotrexate, a drug
used to induce abortions.
The defendant told the police as heard by the
Grand Bahama Court that the woman was a
‘friend of a friend’, who simply worked at his
office for two months. He denied the allegations
of rape and indecent assault.
However, he refused to answer officers when
asked about the alleged incidents, telling them
he ‘had nothing to say’.
The court was told that in a WhatsApp
exchange that took place after the alleged rape,
the doctor told the woman he didn’t owe her
salary because he had provided her with
medication.
During the police interview an officer told him,
“The virtual complainant informed you that she
will not return to work because she was
uncomfortable that you violated her, and you
said you were sorry she felt that way and you
told her to still come in for follow-up and
medication.”
The trial resumes at 11am on Friday.by chibaby naija1
