A federal judge voided a $15 million jury award to John Abraham and ordered a new trial at the request of Thomas Jefferson University in a nationally watched gender discrimination case.
Federal judge rules in favor of Jefferson, tossing out $15 million jury verdict for former Rothman surgeonJohn Abraham, a former Rothman orthopedic surgeon, sued Thomas Jefferson University, claiming that the university violated his civil rights after it allegedly failed to investigate his claim that he was sexually assaulted by a former Jefferson medical resident at a 2018 pool party at his house.
The $15 million jury award to a male former Rothman surgeon against Jefferson in a sex discrimination case is the largest ever Jefferson had paid a private law firm about $97,000 to investigate the alleged sexual assault, and the resulting 58-page report drew no conclusion on whether a rape occurred. Over a five-day trial in December, Abraham testified for hours, at times crying. He told jurors that Jefferson’s and Rothman’s leaders warned him that he stood no chance at a Title IX hearing — that no one would believe that a woman forced her male superior to have sex.
“We’re still absorbing the judge’s 120-page opinion, but we’re very pleased with the result,” Jefferson spokesperson Deana Gamble said Thursday evening. Baylson said that he should have allowed the two text messages to come into evidence before the jury because Abraham’s lawyers “opened the door” to testimony about what happened at the party.
