A German gynaecologist has appeared in court accused of taking more than 35,000 photos of his patients on a secret camera - while he was examining them. He faces ten charges of sexual abuse and more than 1,400 counts of gross invasion of privacy.
"I am ashamed," the 58-year-old doctor told the court in Frankenthal near Mannheim in Rhineland-Palatinate on Thursday. He spoke of a dark side to him, being unable to explain his actions over three years in any other way.
The extraordinary case - the first of such a kind in Germany - came to light only in 2011 after the doctor's medical assistants became suspicious, noticing that he always opened and closed a drawer before a patient came into his examination room.
The drawer was not normally used for anything - and was usually empty when the assistants looked inside - until one day one of them found a digital camera inside.
"That really shocked us," one of the assistants told the court. She found a photo on the camera of a patient in examination position on the gynaecological chair. This prompted her to go to the police. Full story...
