Damien Knighton, a 41-year-old former medical assistant at a Massachusetts General Hospital care center, was found guilty of sexually assaulting four patients. The jury convicted him on six counts of indecent assault and battery on persons over 14, stemming from allegations made in January 2023. The case escalated when additional victims came forward after his initial arrest. The District Attorney highlighted the gravity of the violations in a trusted medical environment and praised the victims for their courage in seeking justice.
"These incidents were egregious personal and ethical violations in a place of treatment and trust, and I thank the jury for recognizing them for what they were."
"I am grateful for the victims who bravely recounted Damien Knighton's actions, and I thank the prosecutor, victim witness advocate and police investigators for their diligent work in bringing this defendant to justice."
