Class Action Lawsuit Over a Doctor’s Sexual Abuse Ends With A $23 Million Settlement
A judge has approved a final, $23 million settlement in a class action suit over the actions of a former Charleston doctor accused of the sexual abuse of patients while they were under anesthesia.
“I do give approval to the settlement as proposed today,” Kanawha Circuit Judge Jennifer Bailey said at the conclusion of a hearing by videoconference.
There are still some details to be worked out, so Bailey set a status conference for Sept. 9 to follow up on some issues like distribution of funds.
