Dr. Isaac Pope’s History of Sexual Abuse
- In November 2025, it was reported that a lawsuit on behalf of 14 victims was filed against the State of Washington, alleging decades of sexual abuse and negligence at Maple Lane and Green Hill juvenile detention schools. The lawsuit names the Washington Department of Social and Health Services, the Department of Children, Youth and Families, Green Hill and Maple Lane schools, and Dr. Isaac Pope who reportedly worked with the schools from 1982 to at least 2020. The suit alleges that Pope sexually abused and raped hundreds of children behind closed doors when he was supposed to be caring for their health. It was reported that claims have been filed against the State of Washington for over 200 victims of abuse at such schools.
- In September 2021, Washington state agreed to pay over $2 million to settle a lawsuit with 10 survivors of sexual abuse at Green Hill School in Chehalis. The survivors, who were between 14 and 18 years old at the time of the abuse, endured ongoing abuse from staff and guards who misused their authority over them.
Despite reporting the abuse, the survivors allegedly faced retaliation and had no way to escape or get help. This abuse spanned from the 1970s to the early 2000s. The lawsuit claimed that the School authorities and the state DSHS allowed a culture of abuse and cover-ups, leading to repeated mistreatment of many residents over the years.
The lawsuit alleged Pope repeatedly sexually assaulted a 15-year-old boy between 2001 and 2002.
- In September 2019, a lawsuit alleged that Pope sexually abused a victim through unnecessarily invasive medical examinations that included sexual touching.
- In October 2003, allegations surfaced that Pope sexually abused a teenage female patient in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Pope allegedly groomed the victim and engaged in inappropriate sexual contact, including kissing, fondling her breasts, and pressing his groin against hers. He allegedly told her he became sexually aroused during her appendectomy surgery, locked the door during their visits and said he wanted to have sex with her and to take her virginity.

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
Washington Sexual Abuse Attorneys
Under current Washington state law, survivors of sexual abuse have three years from the date of their abuse, or three years from the date they discover the connection between their injuries (which can include addiction, self-harm, and other mental health issues) and the abuse (or a defendant’s actions that led to the abuse), to file civil lawsuits.
In March 2024, the governor signed into law a bill (House Bill 1618) removing the statute of limitations for civil claims related to child sexual abuse. As a result, for any sexual abuse occurring on or after June 6, 2024, there is no deadline to file.
However, the new law is not retroactive, meaning that it does not apply to sexual abuse that occurred before June 6, 2024. Survivors of sexual abuse that occurred before this time still have three years from the date of their abuse, or three years from the date they discover the connection between their injuries and the abuse or actions that led to the abuse, to file civil lawsuits.
