Jose Guara Fara, a 46-year-old doctor, was arrested on Monday on suspicion of raping two women at his home in Modi'in by using anesthetic drugs. Fara, a Mexican citizen, has been living in Israel and specializing in anesthesiology at the Assaf Harofeh Hospital. He is suspected of meeting the women months ago on the internet dating website J-Date. Dr. Jose Guara Fara is suspected of raping at least two women after anesthetizing them.The police are investigating the possibility that Para victimized even more women. On Tuesday, his remand was extended by five days.
One of the women filed a complaint with the police on July 11, charging the doctor with rape after she was compromised with an anesthetic. A short time after that, Modi'in Police received a similar complaint from a second woman. Both women claimed that Fara laced their drinks with an anesthetic. According to the women, they awoke the following morning, naked, in Fara's bed, and had no recollection of the events of the previous evening. When they confronted the doctor, he told them that they had engaged in sexual relations.
Police conducted a search of the suspect's home and confiscated a computer and paperwork that will be examined to learn if he fabricated prescriptions in order to acquire anesthetics. Also, a number of prescription bottles were taken from his home to learn what they previously contained. Fara specialized in anesthetics for a year and a half at Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem, then began working at Assaf Harofeh Hospital in Tzrifin nine months ago. He came to Israel looking for work, under the impression that there is a dearth of doctors of anesthesiology in Israel.Fara has so far refused to cooperate with the police investigation against him.
