München trial resumes for gastroenterologist accused of assaulting sedated patients
The Munich Regional Court heard the case of Dr. Wolfgang H., a gastroenterologist who denies raping women sedated during colonoscopies.
Dr. Wolfgang H., 54, maintains his innocence while tearfully addressing the court before the verdict is delivered. He previously lost his medical license after being accused of assaulting several women between 2017 and 2021 during procedures. Some victims remain unidentified, and the Federal Court of Justice had earlier partially overturned a prior judgment, prompting a new trial.
Why it matters
The trial highlights serious allegations of medical misconduct and raises concerns about patient safety and professional oversight.
