“Police also believe there may be more victims.” via Houston woman speaks out about night she was ‘raped by Dr Shafeeq T Sheikh’ | Daily Mail Online h/t Lisa
A Texas doctor’s medical licence was suspended after a woman claimed he sexually assaulted her while she was heavily sedated in her hospital bed.
Dr Shafeeq T. Sheik has had his medical license suspended after a woman claimed he raped her while she was heavily sedated in a hospital bed
The 27-year-old woman, who has asked to only be identified by the name Laura, said Dr. Shafeeq T. Sheikh entered her room three times that night at Ben Taub Hospital in Houston.
Laura alleges that Sheikh, 43, groped and raped her while she was being treated overnight for shortness of breath and wheezing.
Too sedated to fight back and going in and out of consciousness, Laura said she tried to press the bed’s emergency call button but a nurse never came.
A few days later staff found out that the button has been unplugged, according to police records.
Laura reported the assault the the morning after the attack. At first the hospital staff didn’t believe her, she told the Houston Chronicle.
A rape kit was performed on Laura and matched to a swab taken from Sheikh, but it took two years for the doctor to be arrested and charged with the sexual assault first reported in 2013.
Laura filed a lawsuit because she believes Sheikh has other victims.
‘The reason I think so is because this person has everything very organized,’ she toldKHOU. ‘He has no fear.’
‘He abuses his authority, uses his power…and without thinking twice takes control over someone who is sick.’
Police also believe there may be more victims, according to Click2Houston.com.
Sheikh’s medical license was temporarily suspended by the Texas Medical Board.
TMB released a statement saying staff had received evidence Sheikh’s ‘continuation in the practice of medicine poses a continuing threat to public welfare’.
Sheikh was working at Ben Taub while he was a resident at the Baylor College of Medicine from June 2011 to June 2014, according to the Houston Press.
He began working at Houston Methodist Hospital after his residence ended and was suspended after he was charged in October.
Laura said she hopes the case will show people that rape ‘doesn’t have a social status’.
‘I want to inspire and motivate these women,’ she said.
‘To find the courage to talk and speak up to get out of the pain they’re in.’
