BRIDGEPORT, Conn. — A former hospital official is accused of forcibly administering enemas to at least four men and secretly photographing dozens more.

The Connecticut Post reports 62-year-old Barry Barkinsky, of Stamford, was arraigned Tuesday on four counts of fourth-degree sexual assault and 10 counts of voyeurism.

A man reported to police in December that Barkinsky had sexually assaulted and photographed him while he was enrolled in the EMT course at the Bridgeport Hospital nursing school in 2013. Barkinsky was his instructor and the hospital’s emergency manager.

Police say Barkinsky turned over 2,181 photographs he had secretly taken of at least a dozen nude men while he was performing a medical procedure on them.

Hospital officials say they fired Barkinsky after learning about the investigation.

Barkinsky’s attorney declined to comment outside court.
