Nyangabgwe Hospital Gynaecologist Pleads Extortion In Rape Case

Monday, March 09, 2020

FRANCISTOWN: A Cuban gynaecologist, who is accused of raping one of his patients during the course of his work, has claimed that his accuser is falsely implicating him because she wanted to extort money from him.

The gynaecologist, Marco Antonio Cruz-Guerrero, 49, is charged with raping the complainant in an ultrasound room on March 10, 2019 at NRH to satisfy his lust.

Cruz-Guerrero - whose contract was left with a year to run, was terminated after he was implicated in the commission of the offence - made the startling revelation when the defence gave its side of the story on Friday. Cruz-Guerrero said his accuser wanted him to pay her $25,000-$30,000 in order for her not to press charges against him.
