There now are 50 former patients suing Dr. David H. Broadbent, claiming he hurt them over the past four decades.
The Fourth District Courthouse in Provo, Wednesday, March 16, 2022. Dozens of women are suing a Provo OB-GYN who they say inappropriately touched them when he was their doctor.Dozens more women have come forward in a lawsuit filed against a Provo OB-GYN who they say sexually assaulted them while he was their doctor.
“There is something incredibly powerful about all these women standing together to say, ‘Me too,’” Jane Doe S.P., one of the original plaintiffs, recently told The Salt Lake Tribune in an email. “I’ve cried many tears thinking about the women who could have been spared had I recognized the [alleged] abuse for what it was and spoken out sooner.”
MountainStar Healthcare also previously told The Tribune that Broadbent “is not employed by any MountainStar hospital,” and “is not currently authorized to see patients at our facility.”Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing Jane Doe S.P. said she worries that some college-age women “have been taught their whole lives to trust men in positions of authority more than they trust themselves.”
The Jane Does shared similar experiences in the lawsuit, alleging that Broadbent inappropriately touched their breasts, vaginas and rectums, causing pain, without warning or explanation. Some women said the doctor did not use a speculum during exams. “[E.M.] feels as though he treated her body like some sort of play thing,” the complaint states, “and wishes so much that she could have asked a nurse or someone for help or to told him to stop, but in that delivery room she felt like he was the king and she was just some ignorant teenager who had gotten pregnant.”
“Utah Valley Hospital told her that she would need to take it up with Broadbent’s office because he was not the hospital’s employee and they were not responsible for his behavior,” according to the complaint. “Like, we’re doing this to collect a pap smear, because you’re due for the pap smear for cervical cancer screening,” she said. “Or, because of the symptoms that you have today, I would recommend a pelvic examWeber said, “I always explain with a patient thoroughly what we’re going to do before we do it,” and allow the patient “to make decisions along the way and touch base to make sure everything’s going OK for them.
