A German doctor has been sentenced to pay around R$70,000 to a health insurance provider who helped his lover after she overdosed and died during intercourse. Andreas David Niederbichler, 46, was arrested in 2019 for putting cocaine up his penis before Yvonne M, 38, performed oral sex on him.
According to the British tabloid Chron, Niederbichler was sentenced to nine years in prison for rape and refused to pay for his wife’s funeral and family compensation. The woman’s husband and children then sued the surgeon, and last year Niederbichler was ordered to pay €29,500 (about BRL197,000) in compensation to the victim’s family.
Now a judge in Magdeburg has decided that he must also pay the treatment costs to the insurance company that saved the woman. He is currently in rehab.
During the trial, Niederbichler claimed the woman knew he injected cocaine into his penis. However, the court rejected the version. In addition to Yvone, Niederbichler is also accused of drugging and raping three other women between September 2015 and February 2018. He is said to have put the drug in champagne glasses, lipstick and toothpaste.
Speaking to the German newspaper Bild, the surgeon confirmed that drugs were involved in the sexual intercourse, but said everyone was aware of it.
The Court of Appeals has already dismissed the appeal and Niederbichler has presented no new evidence that would compel him to reconsider the case.
