False Psychologist
Hypnotized Women To Rape
Them
The Tribunales de
Justicia de Desamparados
yesterday began trial of
a 67 year old man, a
French national, who
claimed to be a
psychologist hypnotized
more than 40 women to
rape them.
The rapes occurred
between 1996 and 2004.
Investigators charged
the man with 46 counts
of abuse and 15 counts
of rape of women,
including several
minors.
The women told
investigators that they
would seek the help of
the alleged
psychologist. One woman
told her story of how,
from her first visit,
the man would tell her
things about her
personal life that no
one knew. When she asked
how knew these things,
he replied that he was a
"viejo lobo" (old wolf).
Investigators found that
the man would quickly
take control of the
lives of the women,
ordering them to make
changes in their
personal lives,
including dropping
boyfriends and ending
their marriages.
One of the women related
her story of how, after
being hypnotized, she
woke up from the trance
semi naked and one
occasion she says she
was hypnotized solely to
perform oral sex on the
man and on other
occasions she asked to
bear her breasts.
Some 20 witnesses are
expected to take the
stand |
