Examples of Patient Sexual Abuse

Although sexual abuse can take many forms, common types of abuse, assault, and misconduct caused by healthcare professionals include:

• Inappropriate Touching or Invasive Examinations: Conducting examinations without proper consent or in an excessively invasive manner.
• Unwarranted Exposure: Exposing a doctor’s genitals to a patient or requiring patients to undress unnecessarily.
• Sexual Harassment or Discrimination: Making sexually suggestive comments, jokes, or inquiries that cross professional boundaries.
• Exploitation of Power: Using the inherent authority of the doctor-patient relationship to coerce or manipulate a patient into sexual activities.
• Sexual Assault: Engaging in non-consensual sexual acts, including rape, attempted rape, and statutory rape. In many cases, especially those that involve behavioral health facilities and juvenile detention centers, this occurs while under a sedative or other drug given to the patient.
• Manipulative or Unnecessary Procedures: Prolonging physical exams, performing irrelevant procedures, or using medical treatment as a pretext for inappropriate behavior—often under the guise of professionalism, making the abuse harder to recognize.
• Other: Sexual abuse and assault comes in many forms, and isn’t always easy to define. If you believe that you’ve been wronged by a medical professional, get help from an attorney.
