DR. BARRY BROCK SEXUAL ABUSE LAWSUITS
LK Investigating Alleged Sexual Exploitation Involving Dr. Barry Brock
Dr. Barry Brock, an OB-GYN at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, is accused of sexually abusing his former patients, with 35 women coming forward to share disturbing accounts of abuse under his care.
Over the course of 40 years, Dr. Brock worked at several medical institutions, including Cedars-Sinai and Beverly Hills facilities like Beverly Hills OB-GYN and the Women’s Health Center on Rodeo Drive. These claims, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, allege that they ignored or covered up his misconduct, revealing a troubling pattern of abuse and institutional neglect.
At Levy Konigsberg, we stand with the survivors of Dr. Brock’s alleged abuse. Our firm is committed to holding not only Dr. Brock responsible but also the institutions that allowed his behavior to continue. We understand the emotional, physical, and psychological toll these experiences take on victims, and we are here to make their voices heard.
Were you sexually abused?
Dr. Barry Brock’s History of Sexual Abuse
According to the lawsuit, Dr. Barry J. Brock’s career spanned more than 40 years, during which he allegedly preyed on vulnerable patients during medical exams. The accusations include:
- Grooming patients with inappropriate comments and sexual questions
- Unnecessary and invasive procedures (such as serial pap smears, breast exams) and vaginal rejuvenation (genital mutilation) after delivery without consent
- Unwanted digital penetration
- Groping patients’ breasts and genitals during medically exams
In one plaintiff’s account, Dr. Brock allegedly told a patient, “You have perfect breasts. Does your husband tell you that?” In another disturbing case, a woman named claimed that Dr. Brock entered her delivery room with an erection and put her foot on his genitals.
Another victim alleged that Dr. Brock made comments about her body so frequently that she requested a chaperone accompany her to his visits.Unfortunately, these testimonies are only a fraction of the horrific claims made by the victims.
The number of victims continues to grow and as these brave women come forward, they are not just seeking justice for themselves but preventing any future victims from suffering similar abuse.
We specialize in sexual abuse lawsuits against powerful institutions. These include government entities (such as prisons, schools, and juvenile detention / juvenile treatment centers), technology companies, and clergy.

Who Can You Sue in a Sex Abuse Civil Case?
In a sex abuse civil case, the parties you might sue can vary depending on the circumstances of the abuse and the relationships involved.
Some potential parties that could be sued in a sex abuse civil case include:
- Individual Perpetrator: The alleged perpetrator of the sexual abuse can be named as a defendant in the lawsuit. This is often the person who directly committed the abusive acts.
- Institutions and Organizations: If the abuse occurred within an institution or organization, such as a school, church, sports club, or workplace, and they failed to take appropriate action to prevent or address the abuse, they might also be held liable.
- Employers: If the perpetrator was an employee of an organization or institution, the employer might be held vicariously liable for the actions of their employee if the abuse occurred within the scope of their employment.
- Property Owners: If the abuse occurred on a property owned by someone else, and the property owner failed to provide adequate security or take reasonable steps to prevent the abuse, they might be considered liable.
- Government Entities: In some cases, government entities might be involved, especially if the abuse occurred within a state institution or facility. Suing a government entity might involve specific procedures and limitations.
Sex abuse cases can be legally complex, so it's highly advisable to consult with experienced legal professionals who specialize in this area to understand your options and pursue the appropriate legal action. Levy Konigsberg, along with our team of sexual abuse lawyers, is available to provide assistance for your sexual abuse case.
Do I Have a Case?
You may have grounds to file a civil legal action if:
- You were sexually abused by a doctor or medical staff.
- The abuse occurred at any medical facility.
- You were sexually exploited or abused by someone in a position of power within an organization meant to provide support and care.
Levy Konigsberg represents survivors in civil lawsuits that aim to hold medical facilities and other facility operators accountable for their failures to stop abusive staff members and protect patients.
As civil claims, these cases are separate from any criminal proceedings that may arise from abuse and focus instead on holding institutions liable for damages. This means you may still have a claim even if:
- Your abuser is no longer alive.
- Your abuser was never charged with or convicted of a crime.
Recoverable Damages in Sexual Abuse Claims
In addition to providing accountability and a sense of justice, civil sex abuse lawsuits allow survivors to recover financial compensation for their damages, which may include:
- Past medical and mental health expenses
- Future mental health expenses, including therapy, medications, etc.
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional anguish and psychological harm
- Lost income
- Other economic and non-economic damages
