DR. MARK MULHOLLAND SEXUAL ABUSE LAWSUITS
LK Investigating Sexual Abuse Allegations involving Dr. Mark Mulholland
Levy Konigsberg is investigating Dr. Mark Mulholland for allegedly committing sexual and medical abuse against patients at Kadlec facilities in Richland, Washington.
Dr. Mark Mulholland, an OB-GYN affiliated with Kadlec Regional Medical Center, Providence Health & Services – Washington, and Kadlec Clinic – Associated Physicians for Women, is reportedly under investigation following allegations of unprofessional and inappropriate behavior towards patients.
On April 29, 2025, the State of Washington’s Medical Commission issued a statement of charges against Dr. Mulholland detailing allegations against him. According to the Statement of Charges, the commission found that Dr. Mulholland committed unprofessional conduct and that the violations provide grounds for imposing sanctions. The statement of charges includes allegations that, between December 2022 and August 2024, Dr. Mulholland allegedly made sexually inappropriate comments to female patients and exhibited a lack of appropriate boundaries towards patients. In September 2025, the Commission barred him from treating female patients while their investigation into sexual misconduct and unprofessional behavior continued.
By February 2026, at least forty-eight lawsuits had been filed in King County Superior Court involving these allegations against Dr. Mulholland and his former employer, Providence Health & Services.

Allegations Against Dr. Mark Mulholland
Allegations against and investigations into Dr. Mulholland include the following:
- In July 2026, a new lawsuit was filed in King County on behalf of more than 100 women alleging that Dr. Mark Mulholland sexually abused patients, performed unauthorized medical procedures, and committed medical negligence.
The lawsuits also named Kadlec and its parent company Providence as defendants, alleging they failed to act despite years of complaints from patients and staff.
- In June 2026, nearly 120 women filed lawsuits in King County Superior Court against former Tri-Cities OB-GYN Dr. Mark Mulholland, alleging he sexually abused patients over decades while working at Kadlec Regional Medical Center.
The lawsuits also named Kadlec and its parent company Providence as defendants, alleging they failed to act on complaints from staff dating back to 2001.
The alleged abuse included sexually inappropriate comments, inappropriate touching, and medically unnecessary penetration during medical appointments. Mulholland also allegedly weaponized language barriers against immigrant patients to cover-up his abuse.
- In August 2025, six additional lawsuits were filed against Kadlec Regional Medical Center in Richland, Providence Health & Services, and Kadlec Clinic — Associated Physicians for Women alleging that the facilities turned a blind eye to the sexual abuse perpetrated by Mulholland and ignored repeated complaints patients made about him. The lawsuits allege that women reported Mulholland’s abuse over the course of many years. For example, the lawsuits allege that in 2005, a former employee, who also was a patient, reported to the office manager sexually inappropriate comments made by Mulholland. The lawsuit says she was told “that is just Mulholland being Mulholland.” Other allegations include that the plaintiffs reported Mulholland making inappropriate sexual comments to them, acting aggressively, touching them inappropriately or performing internal exams in a sexual manner. One woman claimed Mulholland was drunk at the hospital, according to the lawsuit. According to the lawsuits, despite multiple women allegedly making reports and complaints regarding Mulholland’s sexual abuse and inappropriate actions, the women were ignored.
- In July 2025, lawsuits were filed against Providence Health and Services and Kadlec Regional Medical Center in Richland, accusing them of negligence related to the alleged sexual abuse by Dr. Mark Mulholland. One lawsuit alleges that in 2017, a patient reported that Dr. Mulholland allegedly conducted a vaginal exam without wearing gloves, physically restrained her during the exam, and made inappropriate contact. Another account from June 2023 alleges a patient was left in pain and bleeding for days following an invasive exam, during which Dr. Mulholland also allegedly made sexually inappropriate comments. The lawsuits further allege that the medical centers dismissed alleged staff and patient complaints.
- In April 2025, the Washington Medical Commission filed a statement of charges against Mulholland. The statement of charges detailed:
In December 2022, during a hysterectomy consultation, Mulholland allegedly kept asking a patient about pain during intercourse even after she said she didn’t have any and made comments about her genitals that weren’t medically necessary.
In November 2023, during a hysterectomy consultation, Mulholland allegedly moved a patient on the exam table with his hands instead of asking her to move, made inappropriate comments about her body, said he was eager to see her vagina, and touched the patient’s leg after the examination.
In August 2024, Mulholland allegedly asked a patient inappropriate questions about her husband’s sexual performance and her masturbation habits, which were unrelated to her medical care. After the examination was complete, Mulholland allegedly rubbed the patient’s shoulder and further commented on the patient’s sexual activity unrelated to a legitimate medical purpose.
The Washington Medical Commission ultimately found that Dr. Mulholland committed unprofessional conduct and that the violations provide grounds for imposing sanctions. Dr. Mulholland has the opportunity to defend against the charges.
The Washington Medical Commission further stated that Dr. Mulholland’s alleged behavior was rationalized, normalized and minimized, resulting in the alleged complaints not taken seriously.

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.
