Understanding Medical Sexual Abuse

Medical sexual abuse occurs when a healthcare professional exploits their position of trust and authority to engage in inappropriate or unlawful sexual conduct with a patient. This abuse can take many forms, including:

Unnecessary physical examinations or procedures
Inappropriate comments or sexual advances
Sexual assault during medical appointments or hospital stays
Exploitation of vulnerable patients, such as those with mental health conditions or disabilities

Victims of medical sexual abuse often suffer long-term emotional and psychological trauma. The betrayal of trust by a healthcare provider can lead to feelings of shame, guilt, and isolation. It’s essential to recognize that you are not alone, and help is available.

The Prevalence of Medical Sexual Abuse

An investigation by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution uncovered thousands of cases of sexual abuse by doctors and therapists in the United States. Shockingly, many of these cases were handled secretly by state medical licensing boards, and a significant number of perpetrators faced no disciplinary action. A study by Public Citizen revealed that two-thirds of doctors with credible sexual abuse claims against them had not been disciplined by state medical licensing boards .

This lack of accountability underscores the importance of seeking legal recourse through civil litigation. By pursuing a lawsuit, victims can hold abusers accountable and potentially prevent future abuse.
