Arrested in the early hours of Monday (11) after being filmed raping a patient in labor, doctor Giovanni Quintella Bezerra, 32, completed his specialization in anesthesia only recently and liked to photograph himself in hospital environments. “You will hear a lot from me,” he wrote in one post.
The doctor graduated from the University Center of Volta Redonda (Unifoa), in the southern region of the State of Rio de Janeiro, in 2017. The specialization in anesthesia was completed this year, in April. There is not much information about his academic production, since his curriculum on the lattes platform has not been updated for ten years.
Giovanni Bezerra liked to publish photos with his medical routine on Instagram – the profile, however, was closed after his arrest. Several photos of him that were released this Monday on social media show the doctor in hospital uniforms, those used in operating rooms. In one of them, he wrote: “Going forward, I am gaining my space in the profession that I chose to make a difference”.
Upon receiving a voice of arrest, the anesthesiologist declared that he did not know what was happening. Upon being informed by delegate Bárbara Lomba, from the Police Station for Assistance to Women (Deam) in São João de Meriti, that he had been filmed practicing the abuse, Giovanni Quintella Bezerra was silent.
The images show the anesthesiologist next to the patient, who is drugged. As the surgical team prepares to begin the C-section, Quintella takes his penis out of his pants and puts it in the pregnant woman’s mouth.
Lawyer Hugo Novais, who defends Quintella, said in a statement that the defense has not yet obtained access to the entirety of the testimonies and evidence in the arrest warrant in flagrante delicto. “The defense alleges that it has not yet obtained full access to the testimonies and elements of evidence that were produced during the drawing up of the arrest report in the act. The defense also informs that after having access to its entirety, it will comment on the accusation made against the anesthesiologist Giovanni Quintella.”
