The allegations against Dr. John Hoefs detail a pattern of sexual abuse where he coerced vulnerable female patients into exposing their breasts under the guise of medical exams.
The lawsuit highlighted that many of the women were battling serious health issues, including liver cancer and hepatitis, when they sought treatment, further complicating their victimization.
It was indicated that the hospitals involved, Hoag and UCI Medical Center, ignored numerous complaints about Hoefs for years, allowing his alleged misconduct to continue unchecked.
Legal representatives for the women stated that the institutions had a duty to protect their patients and failed to act upon repeated warnings about Dr. Hoefs' conduct.
