Raouf Philopos sexually assaulted the girl for more than an hour as his six-year-old son slept and while nurses tended to patients in the ward at The Children's Hospital at Westmead.
A MAJOR children's hospital has been forced to introduce new security measures after a man visiting his ill son raped a teenage patient in the next bed.
The 16-year-old victim was readmitted to the same hospital ward after turning to self-harm following the assault. The incident has forced a major review of Westmead's child protection policies, and resulted in new protocols for overnight stays by carers.
"The Children's Hospital at Westmead takes the safety of its patients, staff and visitors very seriously," a hospital spokeswoman said.

Aww, that just sucks. Hospital rape has to be some of the worst kind. Not only are you most likely incapacitated, you may not even remember that it happened until a few months later when the belly starts to grow.
This really blows, and it's just wrong.

Yes just when you've seen it all!
We had a doctor here in Cincinnati, a few months ago, an ER Doctor, who raped a patient totally incapacitated in the ER....

Then recently, a man who forced a woman in a hospital elevator to have oral sex with him

Just when you think you hear it all eh?
It's outrageous to say the least.

Well, it says that she did'nt raise the alarm immediately, because of her illness...this happened in Australia, are the emergency buttons on the beds like in America, I wonder?

That is one of the most disturbing things I have ever heard. She's a child! What part of what that man did was even slightly understandable?

I don't even know what to say to that.

Unfortunately, sentencing in Australia seems incredibly lenient, compared to the US for example. Don't be surprised if you hear this sub-human 'father' gets little more than a slap on the wrist .. say a few months.
