İZMİR

A local court in the Aegean province of İzmir ordered the arrest of an anesthesiologist on Aug. 18 after he allegedly masturbated on a woman patient before an operation, Doğan News Agency has reported.

The 33-year-old technician identified as Ö.G. reportedly masturbated on a woman patient who was anesthetized before she was taken under operation at a state hospital in the province.

Meanwhile, intern nurses at the hospital secretly recorded the moments when the technician sexually assaulted the woman patient with cameras on their mobile phones before informing police of the incident.

Police detained Ö.G. and referred him to court after proceedings at the police station.

A local court ordered the arrest of the technician, who denied the charges against him.

The technician has been accused of previously harassing nurses at the hospital. 

In a similar sexual assault case in May, a bus assistant allegedly masturbated on a female passenger while she was sleeping on an intercity vehicle en route to Istanbul in the northwestern province of Kocaeli. He was sentenced to six years and three months in prison.
