Happened in Brazil, he was only caught out when nurses hid a camera as they had suspicions something was off.

Saw this Twitter thread and was pretty horrified at how this really isn’t a rare one-off. mobile.twitter.com/Aromatica365/status/1546561941883215873

And these are only the ones that have been found out and reported in the news, likely the minority of overall offences.

are woman not safe anywhere????! Just wtf

There were about ten people in the theatre when I had my sections, including my husband, so I'm struggling to understand this.
But people can and do awful things.

Sorry, Babdoc, not sure where the extra a came from!

I thought the same Babadoc, I had four c-sections and I can't quite picture how it would work. Maybe it was after they were in recovery?

The idea of anyone groping someone with her insides out is very weird, though I guess no weirder really than furries or rubber fetishists.

I’m a retired anaesthetist and can’t understand how this was even possible. I was never alone with any Caesarian patient in theatre - there was always an anaesthetic nurse, scrub nurse, surgeon, surgical assistant, floor/circulating nurse, theatre orderly, and the patient’s husband present. How the hell did this creep not get spotted by any of these other people?
Or are Brazilian theatres weirdly unstaffed?

Women aren't safe from sexual assualts by men, anywhere that there are men.

I came across a similar case while on jury duty, so not shocked by this, but it is awful.
