A civil lawsuit has been filed against Dr. Scott Lee, a gynecologist at the California Institution for Women, who is accused of sexually abusing patients over a seven-year period. The lawsuit highlights the prison's leadership and medical staff's failure to act despite several complaints. The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation is under investigation for systemic sexual violence against female prisoners, with this case adding to a troubling pattern of abuse and negligence within the facility. The department has stated that Lee no longer has direct patient contact.
According to the complaint, the six women say that they endured abusive pap smears and biopsies and coerced exams, including breast and anal examinations.
The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation has faced multiple civil lawsuits in recent years alleging that staff enable systemic sexual violence against prisoners.
