An unidentified, bedridden woman had already submitted two requests for euthanasia prior to being raped in a facility in Belgium in July, 2022. After this, she submitted a third request to die, which was granted.\u00a0<\/span>Solicitor Walter Damen said the woman sought assisted suicide because her health had \u201cseriously failed in recent years.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Kris Moedts, 36, attacked the disabled 89-year-old in Lint, where he is a local citizen. According to lawyers, the attack \u201cdefies all imagination.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>The\u00a0Daily Mail<\/span><\/a> reported that Moedts was drunk and high on cocaine when he entered the care facility. The prosecutor told the court that the man wheeled another home resident inside the building, went to the victim\u2019s room, and then barricaded the door.<\/span><\/p>\n

URGENT:\u00a0<\/b>For every dollar given, 34 more people can be reached with the truth about abortion. Will you join us in this life-saving work as a monthly donor today?<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

The victim reported that Moedts \u201ccrawled into bed with her and groped her extensively.\u201d The prosecutor continued, \u201cShe cried and screamed fiercely and luckily managed to push the alarm button.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

A facility caretaker pushed his way into the room, and lawyers said that when the caretaker came in, “he saw the man standing next to the bed barefoot and heard the lady crying.\u00a0The sheet and underpants of the lady had been pulled down, which she could not have done herself in her state of health.\u00a0He was so shocked by what he saw there that he later asked for the help of the victim support services himself.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Moedts was able to escape out the the back door but was caught by the police soon after.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Following the attack, the elderly woman requested the right to die a third time, and her request was approved.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Solicitor Walter Damen said, \u201cWhat Kris has done to her now defies all imagination and has hurt her deeply. So deep that her third request for euthanasia has been approved.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The lawyers explained to the Belgian court that the woman specifically delayed the request so that she would be able to see her attacker jailed. He was sentenced earlier this week to eight years imprisonment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moedts\u2019 attorney, Xavier Potvin, said, \u201cAccording to him, it would never have happened if he hadn’t taken that cocaine. That caused him to black out. In fact, there is no evidence that he is sexually attracted to the elderly.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The woman’s assisted suicide was scheduled for December 12.<\/span><\/p>\n
