From the Philadelphia Inquirer (Wendy Ruderman) Thursday:
A federal jury found Thursday that Thomas Jefferson University conducted a gender-biased investigation into allegations that former Rothman Orthopaedic Institute surgeon John Abraham raped a former medical resident.
After a four-day civil trial in U.S. District Court, jurors determined that Jefferson's leadership violated Abraham's civil rights by discriminating against him as a male and intentionally interfered with his ability to earn money as a Rothman surgeon and partner….
The case hinged on whether jurors believed that Jefferson's leadership ignored Abraham's claims that a second-year resident in Jefferson's orthopedic program aggressively pursued sex with him at a June 2018 pool party that he hosted at his Main Line home.
