Another 26 women filed lawsuits against former gynecologist Dr. Fabio Ortega and Endeavor Health this week, with many alleging the doctor sexually assaulted them and that Endeavor failed to protect them.
Most of the new lawsuits include allegations that Ortega fondled the women’s breasts “under the guise of performing a breast exam” and made inappropriate comments. One of the women alleges that he rubbed her clitoris and licked the inside of her leg. Another woman alleges that he told her during her exam, “If I was your husband, I would have sex with you every day.
The Tribune generally does not identify survivors of alleged sexual assault without their permission. Under state law, hospitals are required to report allegations of patient abuse to the Illinois Department of Public Health, which can trigger an investigation. The state does not require owners of private practices and clinics to notify the state’s health department of patient abuse allegations that occur outside of hospital walls.
