Tied to tree, raped, woman tells MD's trial

A women told the St. John's jury on Wenesday that a physician tied her to a tree and had sexual assault on her. This women is the second person to get witness to testify against John Buckingham, a physician facing 23 charges involving with sexual abuse and drug uses. This women was addicted to cocaine since age of 13 and was addicted to OxyContin since age of 18.

Court heard she has been convicted of persuading doctors to give her prescriptions for narcotics.

Buckingham, she testified, was one of the doctors who prescribed OxyContin — a powerful painkiller often meant to be used for cancer patients — to her.
She testified she gave Buckingham sexual favours for the prescriptions, starting with oral sex at his office. Eventually, she testified, she had sexual intercourse with Buckingham at his house on a regular basis.

She testified that Buckingham once tied her to a tree and that they had anal sex. She told jurors that it hurt and that when she asked him to stop, he did not.
She said she was too ashamed to get treatment for the bleeding that ensued.
As well, she told the court, Buckingham whipped her with a branch while she was tied to a tree, leaving bruises on her back and legs.

In my opinion, John Buckingham is one of the worst kind of man that could be. I can't believe such a human can do this thing! I think that John Buckingham stays in prison for many years after seeing what he has done in the past (he deserves it)
