Yale Sexual Harassment Lawsuit Settled

Yale Sexual Harassment Lawsuit Settled

Introduction

A jury awarded a settlement in a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by six women doctors of Yale University against a male physician at the Ivy League school.

The accused is a former anesthesiologist and professor at Yale University who lost his job due to the allegations. The lawyers for the school and the accused denied the allegations. The accused mentioned in a document that his career, reputation, health, and wellness are affected because of the lawsuit.

As per the court documents, several female doctors alleged that the accused sexually molested them by touching them inappropriately against their will on several occasions in 2019. The women even alleged that the defendant behaved indecently with an intoxicated female resident at a party.

The lawsuits even mention that the accused would make inappropriate comments on the women's bodies and would make false claims of poor job performance if they would oppose him.

The lawsuit blames Yale and Yale New Haven Hospital for not taking stricter action on the sexual harassment complaints against male doctors, as both the organizations have a history of turning a blind eye toward such incidents.

The lawsuit will bring justice to the women against the culprit and people who supported the misconduct.
