The man is on trial for a long-running scheme where he pretended to be a scientist or doctor and offered cash to subjects who would run voltage through their naked feet.
David G., from Rimpar, Germany, faces 88 counts of attempted murder. German authorities said he posted advertisements on eBay purporting to be a research scientist studying the human sexual response to electrical stimulation. He offered his subjects, all women, as much as 1,500 euros to take part in an experiment he was running. His last name has not been released because of the sexual nature of the crimes he is accused of.
Prosecutors then said David G. had the women position their feet at the center of their camera and plug the cords into an electrical outlet, passing 230 volts through their feet. A shock of that magnitude is sufficient to kill a human being, and many of the victims were left with burns on their extremities.
One of the subjects, a 16-year-old girl, lost consciousness and had to be taken to the hospital after participating in the experiment four times, according toWhile there, she spoke to police about why she had shocked herself and they began investigating the faux professor.After police searched David's computer, they discovered more than 100 videos of women electrocuting their feet.
