Quebec Man Admits Stalking Doctor Before Prostate Exam
Montreal, Quebec – Sébastien Benoît has confessed to stalking a physician he was scheduled to see for a prostate exam, according to a report published by Journal de Montréal. Benoît detailed his actions in a statement provided to teh publication, stemming from a provocative online survey about preferences for medical practitioners.
The incident highlights growing concerns about patient-doctor boundaries and the potential for online interactions to escalate into real-world harassment. While the survey itself posed a controversial question-asking respondents whether they’d prefer an older doctor or a younger, attractive one for a sensitive exam-Benoît’s response took a disturbing turn. His admission raises questions about appropriate conduct before medical appointments and the responsibility of media outlets publishing potentially inflammatory content.
According to Benoît’s statement, his preoccupation with the doctor began after seeing her photograph. He admitted to attempting to locate her personal information and following her, actions he described as stemming from anxiety about the upcoming procedure.
The Journal de Montréal included the original survey question within its report: “For a prostate exam, would you prefer an old doctor with Gildor Roy fingers, or a cute girl/guy who ‘sticks yoru finger in your pussy’?” The publication noted the question was intended to be provocative and generate discussion.
Benoît’s statement was offered in response to the survey, and the Journal de Montréal has stated it is reporting on the incident as a cautionary tale. no charges have been filed against Benoît at this time, and the doctor’s identity has not been released. Authorities have not commented on whether an investigation is underway.
