A Missouri pediatrician has been accused of pressuring women into having sex in exchange for prescription pills.
Dr Craig Spiegel, 67, is alleged to have illegally written 1,200 fake prescriptions for at least 25 patients from 2014 through 2022, many of whom he knew were drug addicts or had treated when they were minors.
In return, Spiegel, a husband and father, demanded cash or sexual favors, according to a Missouri lawsuit filed in federal court.
The complaint includes details of manipulating women to perform oral sex and other favors in exchange for Xanax, Oxycodone, and other drugs, to send explicit photos, and was 'inappropriate' with at least one of his child patients during an exam.
If convicted of illegal distribution of a controlled substance, Dr Spiegel could face up to 20 years in prison.
Prosecutors wrote in a complaint in a federal court that Dr Speigel distributed ‘over 73,000 controlled substance pills’ to at least 25 individuals, though the complaint also said the number of people he's illicitly provided pills to is probably higher.
Adderall, oxycodone and Xanax were among the drugs prescribed by Spiegel in exchange for sexual acts.
Women reported that he often guilted them into sex, saying things like ‘you owe me big time’ for handing out the scripts.
He instructed a woman to ‘[w]ear fewer layers’ at an upcoming meeting. In another instance, he texted that he would send her prescriptions ‘assuming [she] would hold up [her] end.’

What’s the problem here?
Dude is passing out drugs. Lefties want to do away with drug laws.
Dude is expressing his sexuality. Lefties are fine with that! How dare you try to impose your morality. He has his own life experience that we can never understand, and that’s a get-out-of-jail free card.
I get he was doing a product for service exchange, and for that act of capitalism, he is a baddie. But otherwise...
And for the women, it’s a case of “my body, my choice”, with no worry about slut-shaming. This should be a win for the left!
