The real doctor's sentence



Following his conviction, the Saskatchewan College of Physicians and Surgeons stripped Schneeberger of his medical license.

The sentence when it came was lenient, even by Canadian standards. Judge Gunn found Schneeberger guilty of assaulting Candice, but because Lydia couldn't remember the assaults due to the anesthetic, Gunn dismissed that charge. She found Schneeberger guilty of injecting Lydia with the anesthetic, but his total sentence amounted to just six years, meaning he could possibly be out on parole in two.

Follow-up: They deported his ass back to South Africa.

"A former Saskatchewan doctor who was convicted of sexually assaulting two women and trying to foil DNA tests by using another man's blood has been ordered deported. John Schneeberger received the deportation order after a brief hearing in Regina on Monday. He lost his citizenship last December for not revealing that he was under police investigation when he became a Canadian citizen."
