Title: Doctor from Canary Islands Health Service Sentenced to Prison for Abusing Patients
Hear ye, hear ye! The Provincial Court of Las Palmas has got some dirty laundry to air out—a doctor from the Canary Islands Health Service (SCS) has been found guilty of sexually abusing 26 patients in his office. But don't worry, this lecherous Lothario will only be serving max five years and three months under the current legislation, as per the sentence.

The Regional Court of Las Palmas has it on good authority that this creep Carlos L.R. had a penchant for rubbing his goods all over women while they were in his care. He'd simulate massages and convince them to drop trou, all in the name of "medicine." Guess we have a new addition to the list of excuses for getting touchy-feely—#QualityHealthcareProtectionPlan or something equally absurd.
Caught red-handed, ol' Carlos fessed up to the charges against him, resulting in a reduction of the initial prison sentences requested from a whopping 62 years to a mere 36 years and ten days. Kudos to Mr. L.R. for coughing up over 120 big ones as civil liability for his antics, which undoubtedly adds a touch of charm to this classy cad.
In recognition of his bribe-y behavior, the court handed Carlos the attenuating circumstance of making amends for his wrongs, considering it "very noteworthy" since the amount he threw at the victims was a substantial "reparatory effort." They rejected, however, the attenuating circumstance of mental disorders, because, despite being able to confirm evidence of frontotemporal dementia, it wasn't enough to exonerate him for his actions.
For the continuous sexual abuse charges, the court imposed sentences ranging from one to two years in prison. Since the acts were carried out in Carlos' professional office, which just adds insult to injury, the court thought a year and nine months was a fair penalty for each offense. For the other 16 charges of simple sexual abuse, the court deemed a sentence of nine months in the slammer per offense appropriate.
Furthermore, this twisted nurse will be barred from holding public office or practicing medicine for the duration of his sentence, and he's prohibited from communicating with or approaching any of his victims within 150 feet. What a treat! And this little cherry on top—the court ordered him to pay a joint indemnity of €90,250 for damages. Move over, Elon Musk, Carlos L.R. has company in the "Billionaire's Club"!
This is just another prime example of the Spain's judiciary system serving up some justice that, for once, actually tastes sweet. As for you, keep your hands to yourself and remember indeed, power corrupts—and sometimes it just leads to getting your license to practice medicine revoked!
