Physiotherapist acquitted of rape via anal massage: « only a treatment carried out » (inland)

In 2018, the patient ended up on the physician’s treatment table with years of experience. She had undergone an operation on the colon. Due to pelvic floor problems, she would follow eighteen sessions with him, but after the eleventh she had had enough. The physiotherapist provided anal massage with his fingers as therapy, among other things.

« That happened in accordance. I am not going to perform it without the patient’s permission. We had an oral agreement, not written. I always explained what I was going to do, » said the physiotherapist on the process.

The woman was struggling with constipation. « I had to mobilize her entire intestinal trajectory. For the anus, which is behind the bladder, uterus and ovaries, that is not possible via the abdomen. A anal mobilization was designated. There are only a few who want to do that, » the relieved physiotherapist repeated Friday. « There was no sexual arousal at any time. I have about 24 patients a day, I don’t have time for that. »

Buy vibrator together

During the trial, where the attorney progressed for 18 months in prison, a lot of questions were asked because the Zonhovenaar and his patient went to a sex shop to buy a vibrator. « Then the patient himself could organize a blood flow and provoke intestinal peristalsis, » the seventies taught. « She was ashamed to step in. Then she came to pick me up to go to the sex shop. Nowadays I send my customers a link to Bol.com, where they can order it themselves. »

On Friday, the judge released the eloquent physiotherapist on the entire line. The man had to let his emotions sink in for a while and sat down in court a while back. « I am very happy. These were serious charges. I carried out a treatment, I used 120 percent for my patient. Maybe she has filed a complaint against me because the complaints are still there. Is it out of frustration? Out of anger? I wish her good health at least. »

Correct treatment

In the judgment, the court is talking about correct treatment. The judge also points out that the physiotherapy initially made contradictory and incomplete statements. « I was perplexed by the allegations, » was his answer. But in a later interrogation, the defendant spontaneously indicated that he had performed the penetration and be present in the Erotheek.

« It is therefore not that the defendant only admitted this ‘reluctantly’ after confrontation with the evidence. Consequently, the court releases the defendant. » To the great relief of the accused, which can present a career of 51 years. « Now I can exercise my passion back with confidence. On Monday my agenda is full of eight o’clock in the morning until eight in the evening. But now I’m going to do a terrace first. »
