Bizarre! Read how this mortuary attendant had sex with up to 100 female corpses

A man has admitted to having had sex with up to 100 female corpses in a morgue in Hamilton, Ohio, USA, were he worked.

The man, Kenneth Douglas, who worked the night shift between 1976 and 1992, admitted in court that he sexually abused the corpses while he was drunk or on drugs. "I would just get on top of them and pull my pants down” he said.

He also admitted to having sex with bodies being stored while awaiting autopsies.

His heinous activities were not discovered until 2008 when there was an investigation into the murder of a 19 year old lady, Karen Range. Autopsy showed that her private part was tampered with. Her killer, David Steffen, had admitted killing her but denied raping her. So, when DNA testing was done, semen found in the corpse was connected to Douglas who was working at the morgue.

Douglas, now 60, pleaded guilty in the Range case and was sentenced to three years in prison. In 2012, he pleaded guilty to having sex with 23-year-old Charlene Appling on the day she died after being strangled while six months pregnant and having sex with another woman April Hicks.
Antronette Shirley, Hicks’ older sister to one of the victims said: “I imagine Kenneth Douglas pulling her out of a freezer, climbing on top of her just like he said and having sex with her”

"If I hadn't had anything to drink when I went to work, it wouldn't happen," said Douglas. "I would do crack and go in and drink and go in."

His wife, Pat, in her testimony, said that he stank of sex and alcohol when she picked him up from work. She said she called the coroner's office and reported him, but the morgue supervisor told her to stop calling.

According to Al Gerhardstein, an attorney of one of the families suing the county said that the county ignored the warning signs.

"The county had plenty of notice that Douglas was coming to work and was present at work while he was under the influence of alcohol and drugs," Gerhardstein said. "Had he been stopped, these women would not have been abused".

The county however argued it should not be held liable for unknown criminal acts of an employee. The appeals panel opinion upheld earlier rulings by a lower court, rejecting federal constitutional violation claims by relatives of the women whose corpses were abused.

Last Friday, a spokesperson said that the prosecutor's office was reviewing the ruling of the appeal court.
