Dentist who spiked drinks and raped multiple women he swindled on Bumble and Tinder is slammed by no-nonsense judge: 'Lack of respect'

A Perth dentist who spiked the drinks of multiple young women he met online before raping them will spend over a decade behind bars. Farzem Mehrabi, 34, who was found guilty of 24 charges in September, was sentenced to 15 years in prison with a non-parole period of 13 years in Perth District Court on Tuesday. Judge Troy Sweeney said the CCTV footage of Mehrabi spiking a drink was 'damning' and a clear example of how 'emboldened' he had become. Mehrabi was a third-year medical student at Notre Dame University studying to become a surgeon at the time of his offending CCTV played to the court showed Mehrabi mixing a substance into the drink of a woman while she was in the bathroom Judge Sweeney said Mehrabi was 'embarrassed' that he was living with his parents at their home in Shelley in Perth's south so he painted himself as 'successful, professional, well-heeled, polished and interesting'. Seven women made complaints about Mehrabi and he was found guilty of sexual assault charges against five of them along with other drugs charges and a count of impending a person's breathing by applying pressure to the neck.
