There's no doubt he did it and no evidence of consent. It seems like a really easy case. Do they think he'd use an insanity defense. I feel like I am missing something? Why is he unpunished?

Women are going to hear this (which they should, since it happened, it just should have never happened) and they're going to question the medical community, which could lead to women not going to doctors for completely legitimate reasons, which could lead to women's medicine being seen as even more of an afterthought and anomaly than it already is. Doctors should have to go through an extremely thorough screening process to prevent this from ever happening again. This sickens me, and it scares me.
