Eighty One Year Old Pharmacist Accused Of Trading “Powerful Painkillers” For Sexual Favors
According to authorities, an 81-year-old pharmacist in Pennsylvania is currently being accused of trading “powerful painkillers” for sexual acts and investigators say this has been going on for years!
The Delaware County District Attorney’s Office released in a statement that Martin Brian was taken into custody and charged with distributing drugs from his pharmacy in Media, Penn., in return for sex from addicted customers who had no prescriptions.

“An octogenarian pharmacist — (whose) profession is dedicated to serving the health needs of the community with honesty and integrity — traded drugs for sexual favors,” said District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer. “In doing so, he allowed his need for sexual gratification to override any sense of personal or professional responsibility to the community. His actions risked the life of every individual receiving these illicitly obtained drugs.”
Borough Police Department first started investigating on April 18 when they obtained a mysterious tip about two unconscious people posted at Murray-Overhill Pharmacy, according to the news release. As officers were checking on those two individuals, a woman (referred to as S.E.) ran out the back of the pharmacy.
“Upon spotting the officers, she retreated to the pharmacy. The defendant – who was known to the officers as Martin Brian – emerged from the pharmacy and asked ‘if everything was alright,’” the news release shared. “Upon separate questioning, inconsistencies emerged in the accounts given by S.E. and by the defendant.”
Officers confiscated the woman’s cellphone and received a search warrant to go through it. That’s where they found numerous texts between the two S.E. and Brian, officials said, involving one that notified S.E. how to answer questions from police.

Two days following the unidentified tip, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration searched the pharmacy, evaluating inventory records from 2016 to 2021. Through the search, officials said they located discrepancies in the inventory of oxycodone, Xanax, and fentanyl.
A few days later, on April 26, DEA agents interviewed S.E., who confessed to meeting with Brian weekly to exchange sex acts for money and controlled substances, according to officials.
