Nurse allegedly raped patient recovering from surgery at Geelong private hospital, court told

Peng Yang denies any sexual contact with the patient and claims he was giving the man a wash

A man has alleged a nurse at a private hospital raped him during a bed bath when he was recovering from surgery to his deviated septum.

“He felt frightened and helpless at lying in a hospital bed with a drip in his arm and in pain from his surgery,” prosecutor Richard Pirrie told a jury trial at the County Court in Geelong on Tuesday.
