A bogus doctor tried to make a housewife pay $50,000 to have sex with him, claiming it could cure her husband's 'cancer', a court was told yesterday.
Posing as a doctor, Sham Kwok-keung, 45, had earlier told the woman - identified as Ms A in the District Court - that he had diagnosed her husband, 60, as having testicular cancer, it was alleged.
Sham, a former restaurant worker, denies dishonesty attempting to obtain $50,000 from the woman.
The court heard that on July 1 this year, Sham called Ms A and claimed to be a Dr Kwok from Queen Elizabeth Hospital, after picking her number at random from the telephone directory.
He told her that her husband had testicular cancer and said the best cure was to have sex with another man who carried an immunity, prosecutor Agnes Chan said.
Ms A, 34, was told that the 'effective medication' could only be administered through the transfer of immunity between him, her and her husband through sexual intercourse.
