Around twenty of his patients reported sexual abuse, one a rape. A former general practitioner was sentenced this Friday to 11 years of criminal imprisonment with a committal warrant by the Châteauroux criminal court.
The court imposed Jacques Olsina’s sentence in particular with a fine of 10,000 euros and a definitive ban on practicing medicine. The 24 victims are mainly women placed under guardianship. For Me Sébastien Robin, one of the lawyers for two complainants who have become civil parties, “it is not certain that all the victims are present”, the investigators “having apparently not managed to go back before 2010-2011” .
A rape filmed
The case started following the report of a legal representative of one of the victims, in 2020. During their hearings, the victims spoke of touching the former general practitioner on the chest and genitals during medical examinations, between December 2013 and December 2020.
One of the women reported a rape, of which investigators found a trace of the video. During searches of the medical office, investigators discovered in the computer equipment compromising videos of patients, filmed without their knowledge, with a mobile phone during the medical consultation. These videos are “particularly unbearable”, according to Me Sébastien Robin.
“We border on disgust”
The general practitioner asked his patients, who presented a certain psychological fragility – women under guardianship in particular – to masturbate or take explicit positions even though the appointment was not suitable for this, according to a judicial source.
“In the minds of these women it was: ‘It’s the doctor who is asking so if he asks it means it must be done’,” explained Me Robin. “We are close to disgust,” declared Me Christel Jousse, one of the lawyers for the civil party.
