Texas doctor found guilty of raping sedated patient. He won't serve any prison time
The Houston police chief said it is “beyond troubling” that a Texas doctor will not be going to prison after a jury found him guilty of raping a heavily-sedated hospital patient.

“He made a mistake, but he didn’t sexually assault her,” attorney Lisa Andrews said during the trial, according to the Chronicle. “Here we have this Latina woman with her fake boobs that came onto that little nerdy middle-aged guy, and he lost his mind.”
Oh. My. God.
