Obscenity Case for Female Patients After Surgery Abandoned Conviction of Male Doctor and Remanded Supreme Court
In May 2016, doctor Susumu Sekine (46) was quasi-obscene for performing obscene acts such as licking the chest following performing chest surgery on a female patient in her 30s at a hospital in Adachi Ward, Tokyo. I am accused of being guilty.
In 2019, the Tokyo District Court acquitted Defendant Sekine, admitting that the woman may have been in a state of “delirium” due to surgical anesthesia and had hallucinations.
However, the Tokyo High Court of the second instance did not admit the hallucinations and sentenced him to two years in prison, and Sekine appealed.
The Supreme Court abandoned the conviction of the second trial in the judgment of the appeals court held today and remanded the trial to the Tokyo High Court. In a speech held at the Supreme Court on the 21st of last month, Sekine’s defense defendant said that he was guilty of the second-instance judgment, “I ignored all the solid opinions of experts and truly received the lies of one non-expert.” I was criticizing.
