Doctor arrested for sexually abusing women during treatment in Rio

Doctor Emílio Pontes da Fonseca Junior was arrested this Wednesday (29) in Mangaratiba, on the Costa Verde of Rio de Janeiro, for committing sexual rape through fraud against patients at a health center.

According to the Public Ministry of Rio de Janeiro (MP-RJ), the crimes were committed inside the Vereador Orlando Ribeiro Basic Unit, in Muriqui, where Emílio worked.

According to the complaint, the accused carried out lewd acts against two patients on December 30, 2022.

The victims, who presented different symptoms – one case of an anxiety attack and another of diarrhea – were taken by the doctor to a place away from the nursing team, where they were asked to undress and lie down on their stomachs.

“When they entered the last office in the corridor, he instructed them to take off their clothes and lie down on their stomachs, so that he could “administer” the supposed medication through the rectum, even inserting his finger into one of them,” said the MP-RJ .

When requesting arrest, the Prosecutor’s Office said that, free, the doctor could continue acting criminally and having access to potential victims.

The doctor will be prosecuted for the crimes of sexual rape through fraud, aggravated by the fact that it was committed against sick people.

Furthermore, the body does not rule out the existence of other victims of the accused and reiterated that it is available to receive new complaints through the Ombudsman/MPRJ, by telephone 127 or via the electronic form.
