Dr. Guy Rosenschein, 70, was a pediatric surgeon who headed the Pediatric Urology department at Presbyterian Hospital in Springdale, Arkansas, from 2001 to 2012. Rosenschein was arrested in November 2016 for a sexual misconduct case. During his career, he practiced in several U.S. Locations, including Arkansas, New York, New Mexico, and Missouri.
Rosenschein was accused of raping and sexually assaulting juvenile boys who were his previous patients, as well as disseminating and possessing child pornography. Investigators discovered almost 19,000 images and 2,000 movies of child pornography in Rosenschein’s possession, including photographs of children’s genitals taken in a hospital setting.
Rosenschein admitted in federal court to distributing and possessing sexually explicit photos of children. He was sentenced to 17 years in prison, followed by five years of supervised release, and must register as a sex offender. Additionally, he was asked to pay $125,000 in restitution.
Law authorities have discovered more allegations from other locations about Rosenschein grooming and sexually abusing young male patients. Now, families of patients treated by Guy Rosenschein are filing lawsuits against him and the hospital where he worked.
Hospitals or other Medical Institutions that employed Dr. Rosenschein may be liable for:
- Exposing vulnerable children to a sexual predator.
- Covering up the abuse by falsely reassuring parents that nothing inappropriate had occurred.
- Negligence in hiring and supervising Rosenschein

Dr. Guy Rosenschein’s History of Sexual Abuse
Rosenschein first came to the notice of police enforcement in 2016 after an online provider reported he was publishing child porn. Investigations also revealed he was inappropriately touching and photographing children’s genitals during tests and surgeries. Dr. Guy Rosenschein also assaulted his minor patients sexually after gaining their trust with expensive trips and Gifts. Examples of Dr. Guy Rosenschein’s sexual abuse include the following :
- On July 17, 2024, Guy Rosenschein, 70, was charged with one count of first-degree sexual assault and two charges of rape. According to court records, at least one minor was involved in the child sexual abuse cases. Rosenschein was held in a federal detention facility l when the arrest warrant was served on him. Rosenschein denied the allegations and pleaded not guilty.
- In 2023, Guy Rosenschein admitted in federal court to seven charges of distributing sexually explicit images of minors and one charge of possessing such images. As a result, he was sentenced to more than 17 years in prison.
Investigations have uncovered three people who claim to have been abused by Rosenschein. Charges related to two of these alleged victims are now pending in Arkansas.
- In 2019, a former patient from Arkansas filed a lawsuit in New Mexico accusing Rosenschein of grooming him at age 11 to accept sexual abuse. The lawsuit claims Rosenschein manipulated the boy over four years, even befriending his single mother and promising to “take him under his wing.” The abuse allegedly continued throughout this period, exploiting the child’s trust.
- In 2016, a federal court criminal complaint revealed that detectives received a tip about an online user who had uploaded an image of a minor engaged in a sexual act. Tracing the IP address led them to Rosenschein’s home in Northeast Albuquerque. When they arrived with a search warrant, Rosenschein wore a bathrobe and was armed with a gun, but he eventually surrendered peacefully.
In Dr. Rosenschein’s bedroom, they found a 16-year-old boy in his underwear. Rosenschein denied having any sexual relationship with the boy, who was his former patient.

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.

- You were sexually abused by a doctor or medical staff.
- The abuse occurred at any medical facility.

- Your abuser is no longer alive.
- Your abuser was never charged with or convicted of a crime.

- Past medical and mental health expenses

- Pain and suffering
- Emotional anguish and psychological harm
- Lost income
- Other economic and non-economic damages
