Ignoring Complaints: Woman Claims Safety of Child at Risk Due to Neglected Physician Sex Abuse Allegations

Court documents reveal that Lynn Lindaman, a retired physician from central Iowa, has been arrested and charged with sexually abusing a child born in 2015. The victim alleges that Lindaman inappropriately touched them on multiple occasions. Sherri Moler, who claims to have been sexually assaulted by Lindaman in 1975, says she had raised concerns about him at Iowa Board of Medicine meetings since 2020 but was dismissed. Moler believes that if action had been taken earlier, the child's abuse could have been prevented. The Iowa Board of Medicine stated that they take complaints seriously but are bound by confidentiality provisions. The criminal complaint also references Lindaman's 1975 charge, which resulted in a sealed conviction. Moler acknowledges the challenges ahead for the child and their family but commends their bravery in coming forward.
