Sex – crazed cross dressing problem gambler
Ex-town councillor claimed that the side effects of a Parkinsons drug drove him into compulsive gambling and cross-dressing.
Peter Sheperd 60 blew £400,000 on a luxury life style. He gambled heavily at racecourses and betting shop in the Hull area of the UK.
The judge in the case said that it was “ wholly unusual “ and agreed with Sheperd’s lawyers that the side effects from the drug had indeed altered Sheperd’s personality.
