Doctor found liable for battery of a teen girl and accused of abusing another is still practicing [View all]
A Virginia pediatrician hit with a $1.3 million civil verdict for barging into a 15-year-old patient’s home under the guise of making an unscheduled “house call” and allegedly fondling the girl’s breasts still has a license to practice medicine.
And now he’s facing a new lawsuit accusing him of sexual battery of another teenage patient.
But Dr. Martin Seth Forman has never been charged with a crime. And the regulatory agency that oversees doctors in Virginia declined to discipline Forman when he was accused of inappropriately touching the first teenager and would not comment on whether it would move to lift his license now that he’s facing a second civil lawsuit.
The 70-year-old board certified doctor was found liable in civil court for the first incident that happened in March 2017. He is now being sued for $8.7 million by the parents of the other female patient for allegedly touching her breasts and rubbing himself against her earlier this year while performing a lymph node examination her parents claim was unnecessary.
