A class-action lawsuit has been filed against Dr. Scott Lee, a gynecologist at a California prison, alleging years of sexual abuse and sadistic treatment of female inmates. The 93-page complaint outlines a range of abuses including coercive medical exams, inappropriate comments, and retaliation against patients who spoke out. Incarcerated individuals had no choice but to continue seeing him for treatment, as they were denied access to other providers. The case underscores systemic failures within the prison to protect vulnerable patients, with attorneys representing potentially thousands affected by Lee's actions.
The allegations surrounding Dr. Scott Lee illustrate a disturbing pattern of abuse where incarcerated individuals had no choice but to endure mistreatment under the guise of medical care.
Yashna Eswaran emphasized that for many incarcerated patients, gynecological care was intertwined with abuse, leaving them with no alternative providers.
