An 81-year-old pharmacist in Pennsylvania has been arrested and charged with trading pain medication for sexual favors from customers. The Delaware County District Attorney’s Office wrote in a Nov. 1 statement that Martin Brian was arrested and charged with distributing drugs from his pharmacy in Media, Pennsylvania, in return for sex from addicted customers who had no prescriptions.

Brian was charged with “multiple counts of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, distribution of a controlled substance to a drug-dependent person, the dispensing of a controlled substance in a manner inconsistent with the rules of the medical profession, the criminal use of a communication facility, and sexual extortion,” according to the District Attorney’s office.

Jack Stollsteimer, Delaware County District Attorney, said: “He was giving out those drugs to people who did not need them, people who were addicted to them, just so he could get what he wanted from them, which was sexual gratification.”

An investigation into the pharmacy was opened. An audit of its records determined there were large amounts of missing medications that had not been properly accounted for. The analysis found the pharmacy run by Brian was the biggest purchaser in the local ZIP code of highly addictive drugs, such as oxycodone, Xanax and the deadly substance fentanyl between 2016 and 2021. Investigators also found around $50,000 in cash in a drawer inside the store.

7. I like this quote from the DA

“He was giving out those drugs to people who did not need them, people who were addicted to them, just so he could get what he wanted from them, which was sexual gratification.”

Yes. And?

I wouldn't say that people who are addicted don't "need" them, but isn't that what life is all about, people helping other people meet their needs?
