Spying Ob-Gyn Will Cost Johns Hopkins $190M
Women whose Johns Hopkins Hospital gynecologist secretly filmed their pelvic exams have persuaded a Baltimore judge to approve a $190 million settlement, their lawyers said.
Baltimore County Police found Nikita Levy, 54, dead in his home on Feb. 18, 2013, after losing his job at Johns Hopkins following reports that he used a pen camera and other devices to record his patients.
Three anonymous women filed suit the next month, alleging that the 25-year ob-gyn was also “guilty of boundary violations,” and stating that the hospital reported the doctor’s conduct to the Baltimore City Police.
