Dr. Barry Brock, a longtime OB-GYN affiliated with Cedars-Sinai, is now at the center of a growing sexual abuse scandal that has left hundreds of women seeking justice. As of early January 2025, more than 160 women have come forward, filing lawsuits accusing Dr. Brock of inappropriate and medically unjustifiable behavior during their care.

These sexual assault lawsuits not only name Dr. Barry Brock but also the institutions where he worked, including Cedars-Sinai and other Los Angeles facilities.  Why? Because they failed to protect patients from his predatory behavior. This Dr. Barry Brock lawsuit shows just how medical institutions enabled abuse by ignoring complaints and prioritizing their reputations and their social relationships with their colleagues over patient safety.

If you were one of Dr. Brock’s patients, you likely feel anger, confusion, or betrayal. Many survivors recount invasive exams without gloves, lewd comments about their bodies, and procedures that caused lasting physical and emotional harm. Worse, when some of these concerns were reported to Cedars-Sinai staff, they were dismissed with excuses like, “That’s just how he is.” Such disregard for patient welfare is at the core of institutional sexual abuse lawsuits, where hospitals and clinics must be held accountable for their role in enabling predators.

If you were the victim of sexual abuse or assault, either as a child or an adult, you have the right to bring a civil lawsuit against both your abuser and any school, company, or organization that might be liable for the abuse.
