Fact Check
We broke down the video into key-frames and performed a Google reverse image search. This took us to a tweet by The Rio Times from July 2022. As per this tweet, the man in the video is Brazilian doctor/anesthesiologist Giovanni Quintella Bezerra, who was caught on camera orally raping a woman during a C-section.
The tweet also says that the doctor was later placed under arrest. Alt News has not embedded the tweet as the video provided on the platform was not blurred.
We performed an additional keyword search using the words “Doctor Giovanni Quintella Bezerra”. This took us to a detailed report by Daily Mail.
As per this report, Giovanni Quintella Bezerra, 32, had qualified as an anaesthetist in April 2022, three months before his video went viral. It says that some of Bezerra’s colleagues grew suspicion of him after it was noticed that he sedated C-section patients so heavily that they were barely conscious. After this, during a surgery in which Bezerra was involved, nurses placed a mobile phone in a cabinet and recorded him. It was seen that as surgeons operated on the patient, Bezerra strategically positioned himself near the head of the patient and raped her. Because of a surgical curtain, the other doctors could not see him in the act.
