"Massive Lawsuit Alleges Decades of Sexual Abuse by Chicago Gynecologist"

A lawsuit against two Chicago hospitals accuses OB-GYN Fabio Ortega of sexually abusing over 300 women, mostly Latina and Spanish speakers, with the hospitals allegedly ignoring complaints. The suit, filed on behalf of one woman, describes alleged experiences dating back to 1989, including unnecessary pelvic exams and intrusive questions. The hospitals are accused of concealing complaints and giving Ortega a platform to abuse more patients. Ortega pleaded guilty in 2021 to abusing two patients and served three years in prison. The lawsuit alleges that hospitals ignored complaints because patients were Latina and did not speak English.
