A German man has been found guilty of drugging and raping his unconscious wife for years and sharing video of his crimes on the internet, in a case that has drawn comparisons to the trial of Dominique Pelicot in France.

Fernando P., a 61-year-old school janitor, was found guilty of abusing his wife inside the couple’s home, filming it and then sharing it online without the victim’s knowledge.

He was sentenced Friday to 8 years and 6 months in prison following a trial at a court in Aachen, western Germany. An appeal may be filed against the judgment within one week, the court said.

    Please don’t confuse this as victim blaming. It is not. I am curious about what the victim thought was going on with her health when she was being frequently sedated. Did she think she became a hard sleeper? Did she have side effects that she might have even seen a doctor for, who spent futile time testing for natural causes?

    Is this something that might one day be in the back of mind for nurses and doctors that someone is being secretly drugged, like Munchausen by Proxy?

      The french lady said she was dizzy and prone to fainting if I remember correctly. She went to see a doctor couple of times but they didn’t find anything.

        That’s exactly what I was curious about. There’d be no reason to do toxicology for someone coming in with these sorts of symptoms. Foul play is often the last thing people suspect.

    Did the man know that all he needed to do to have sex with his wife is to do some dishes and occasionally take her out to nice dinner and listen to her bitch about the Karen at her work?

    Drugging your spouse to have sex with her seems like punching your own dick to cum. It might work, but there are easier ways.

    I was talking to a girl once on hinge that told me she wanted me to drug her until she was unconscious and fuck her.

    We never met. I’m good, thanks. Like. Even if someone wants that I’ve no interest.

    I don’t know wtf has to be wrong with you to want to do that to someone that wants to do it, let alone someone that doesn’t.

    They should throw this guy in the used syringe hole.
