A husband in Australia who demanded sex with his wife at least three times a day after he began taking the drug Viagra has been ordered to pay his wife $232,000 in compensation.
In a landmark court ruling, Svetozar Varmedja, 80, was found to have subjected his 53-year-old wife to more than 18 months of physical and sexual abuse. It included 60 threats to kill her if she did not meet his sexual needs.
"Those tablets changed him and he started to treat me like a slave," his terrified wife said from her Sydney home.
The Serbian-born woman said the horrific mental and sexual abuse began in 2001 after her husband began taking the erectile dysfunction drug Viagra. "He was a gentleman and a good man, but then he started taking the tablets," she said.
She said he was taking up to three Viagras a day. His sex drive increased dramatically and she was forced into hundreds of sex acts. "After taking those tablets, he told me it was very important for him to have sex three or four times a day," she said.
Mrs Varmedja's seven-year battle for justice ended last week when the Supreme Court rejected an appeal by her husband that the pay-out was "excessive".
