The mother of an infant has sued a Virginia pediatrician and his office, claiming the doctor sexually assaulted her while he examined her child earlier this year.
“Dr. Forman did not do those acts. … These false allegations are about money,” Silverman said. “The first time anyone at the practice was informed of this alleged misconduct was the attorney’s letter demanding over a million dollars seeking a response within ten days of receipt of the letter or else.”James P. Magner, who represents the plaintiffs in the current and previous lawsuits, said the mother of his first client from four years ago reported her incident to Reston Pediatrics.
Forman’s license status with the Virginia Department of Health Professions is “current active,” according to Court records show that Forman offered a different account of the incident: “The Defendant denies touching her breasts, but admits an examination — involving proper, consensual touching for medical purposes,” a court document said.Last year, Forman and Reston Pediatrics were found liable in the 2017 incident and ordered to pay $1.3 million.
In an answer to the complaint filed to the court in June, Forman and Reston Pediatrics said “their agents, employees, and servants complied with the applicable standard of care.”“Defendants deny that they are indebted to Plaintiff in any amount for any reason,” the answer to the complaint said.
