Lin Chin-jen (林勤人), a 61-year-old physician and owner of Doctor Altus Obstetrics and Gynecology in Taoyuan’s Zhongli District, has been accused using an excessive dosage of anesthetic on a female migrant worker before undergoing an abortion to first sexually assault her in April last year. Lin’s wife captured the doctor in the act of assaulting the victim with a concealed camera, and after being confronted by police, Lin confessed to the crime and was today charged with aggravated forcible sexual intercourse (強制性交罪).

Lin’s wife recently began to notice that her husband was suspiciously giving his patients an excessive amount of anesthetic, so she decided to set up a pinhole camera in the operating room to observe his behavior. At 11 a.m. on April 28, Lin prepared to perform an abortion on a 30-year-old patient.

He knew that only 10 cc of anesthetic was need to anesthetize the patient, but he injected her with 13 cc. Once the victim lost consciousness, Lin told his daughter, who works at the clinic as a nurse, to leave the operating room.    [FULL  STORY]
