Round Your way – Schifferstadt Germany

Deutschland Doctors Dirty Deeds. In an event stranger than the opening scenes of the hand that Rocks the Cradle a German gynaecologist has been collecting snaps of his patients – the question is why?

A doctor's practice in the town of Schifferstadt in Germany has been closed after a perverted gynaecologist was accused of secretly taking photos of female patients during intimate examinations. As many as 3,000 unsuspecting women may have been photographed by the crazy quack and his hidden camera although, at present, only 700 have agreed with the prosecutor to press charges.

The middle aged gynaecologist could face a year in prison if convicted however it is uncertain if the current law, which was intended to deal with incidents on a much smaller scale, is sufficient to deal with more than 35,000 photographs of an assumed 3000 women.

These numbers are estimates and it is anticipated that this could be a difficult and protracted case as investigators attempt to get to grips with the evidence and determine exactly how many women are involved, how long it has been going on and why the dirty doctor did this.
