Moshe Yeshua, who worked at Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem, was convicted of raping patients following surgery while they were under anesthesia.
Haaretz
A Jerusalem court sentenced a male nurse convicted of raping patients while they were under post-surgery anesthesia to five years in prison on Thursday.
The nurse, Moshe Yeshua, worked at Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem.
In the court ruling, the judges stated that Yeshua had penetrated a patient’s genitals with his fingers in once incident, and in another, Yeshua had sexually assaulted a patient.
The judge writing the verdict described the severity of the crime, as it was perpetrated on victims whose “lives were completely dependent on medical staff.”
“The ability of the convicted to carry out rape on a person who has undergone surgery, who is unconscious, illustrates immorality without border,” the judge wrote.
In addition to his sentence of five years, the judges also gave Yeshua three years of probation and ordered him to compensate each of his victims NIS 10,000.

Hasid Who Allegedly Molested Elderly Man In Hospital Asks Victim, “Are You Jewish?” Before Molesting Him
The NY Daily News
A Torah scholar accused of fondling an elderly man lying in a Manhattan hospital bed first asked his frail victim whether he was Jewish before grabbing his genitals, prosecutors said Thursday.
When the 72-year-old senior replied that he was an atheist, Yakov Kramer allegedly lifted the man’s gown and molested him Wednesday afternoon at New York-Presbyterian Hospital Columbia, prosecutors said.
The 27-year-old was arraigned Thursday at Manhattan Criminal Court on charges of sexual abuse and burglary as a sexually motivated felony. He posted a $50,000 bond, and is due back in court Tuesday.
After the hearing, Kramer’s lawyer Israel Fried told The Daily News that the biblical expert was merely trying to help the old man after hearing his pleas for help.
“There was a person in pain. He saw him. Assisted him. And when his assistance was done. He left,” Fried said.
Although Kramer is from Spring Valley in Rockland County, his family, part of the Skver Hasidic sect, still lives in Williamsburg.
Neighbors on quiet Morton Street, home to Kramer’s father, Jeremias, were tight-lipped about the family’s whereabouts. But the news of the outrageous crime was the talk of the insular community Thursday afternoon.
Religious leaders defended Kramer, calling him a brainiac with a passion for writing about God.
“He is an author of religious books,” said Rabbi Leib Glanz, executive vice president of United Jewish Care in Williamsburg. “He is a Torah scholar.”
“His wife is expecting a baby. That is why he was in the hospital,” said Glanz.
Kramer’s lawyer said his client took his pregnant wife to the hospital for a routine check-up Wednesday.
He left his spouse to head to the hospitality room intended for Jewish patients and their guests, and picked up a book.
But the cries of the old man stopped Kramer, his lawyer said.
The senior “lifted his gown to indicate where he was in pain,” Fried said in court.
After checking on the man, Kramer returned to his wife, Fried said.
A nurse later caught Kramer in the old man’s room, during Kamer’s second visit, and alerted authorities.
“Abuse is a real problem,” said Assemblyman Dov Hikind, (D-Brooklyn).
