A MAN has revealed how he became a sex-crazed transvestite and ran up debts of £400,000 on flash cars and holidays after suffering mind-blowing side effects from a drug given to him by his [doctor].
Town councillor Pete Shepherd was handed the drug after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
The pills did help ease the symptoms of the illness - but they also turned him into a violent, attention-seeking gambler with delusions of grandeur.
Mr Shepherd maxed out 15 credit cards during his spending spree and exceeded two bank overdrafts as he lost his wife, his home AND his £50,000-a-year job.
[Shepherd], said today: "I started to develop a range of strange obsessions, compulsions and interests.
"I became obsessed with gambling, spending, sexual excess and various fetishes.
"I suffered from delusions of grandeur, exhibitionism, paranoia and hallucinations and became violent and suicidal.
"I was out day and night at racecourses, betting shops, casinos and brothels.
"I developed a transvestite tendency and spent tens of thousands of pounds on ladies' clothing for myself."
[...]
"It went on and on, and I found myself in police stations several times."
He finally discovered a link between his behaviour and the drug when he searched the internet in 2008. He then stopped taking the drug and his life returned to normal.
In October last year he admitted six charges of fraud and one count of money laundering after conning 172 people out of £45,718 for concert tickets which did not exist.
