According to foreign media such as the Boston Globe, Dr. Derek Todd, a rheumatologist who has been treated in Massachusetts, USA, has been charged with two counts of rape and is facing trial.
The Harvard Medical School graduate was found guilty of raping a female patient at a hospital in Framingham, Massachusetts, in December 2022 and June 2023.
In addition, 228 women who claimed to have been sexually assaulted by Dr. Todd filed a collective civil suit.
A group helping female victims claimed that Dr. Todd had committed sexual violence against patients at a women's hospital in Boston since 2010.
One of the victims, Christine Fritz, visited Dr. Todd's office with spinal pain.
She said "He suddenly felt his chest during the examination"It was so insulting, but I was so embarrassed that I couldn't say anything."
Another patient met him during the COVID pandemic with numbness in his arms and hands, and conducted repeated quality tests as the treatment progressed, saying it could serve as a physician and obstetrician and gynecologist" he insisted.
Realizing that something was wrong later, she reported Dr. Todd to the medical board.
A woman named Mimi Ditrani, who first received medical treatment in November 2022, complained that Dr. Todd not only repeated breast and quality tests, but also often asked questions about her appearance, sexual history, and sexual behavior.
The controversy continued, but he was suspended in June after continuing his medical examination until April 2023, and was fired a month later.
The hospital, which conducted its own investigation, immediately informed health authorities and his patients, now and in the past.
Attorneys for the victims said, `All 228 patients who have testified to date have a long wait""Patients who trust doctors should be held seriously accountable for their wrongdoings and responsibilities."," he stressed.
On the other hand, Dr. Todd's lawyer said "I will defend strongly against the allegations that have been brought up.'
