ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., March 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- An anonymous former patient of a Presbyterian doctor has filed a lawsuit alleging he was sexually molested by the physician as a child for over four years. The lawsuit details how Guy Rosenschein groomed the then 11-year old so that the child would be comfortable with the sexually lewd acts Rosenschein performed on him.

In addition to this explosive new lawsuit, four additional families have filed suit against Presbyterian alleging that Rosenschein, Presbyterian's former head of Pediatric Urology, inappropriately touched and/or photographed their child's genital areas during examinations and/or surgery. These lawsuits, filed in Bernalillo County, are five of dozens of lawsuits filed against Presbyterian relating to its negligent hiring and supervision of Rosenschein who was arrested for distribution of child pornography in November 2016.

The lawsuit involving the 11-year old is the first one to allege that Rosenschein sexually molested his juvenile patients. The lawsuit's explicit details, which includes pictures of the minor and Rosenschein, shine more light on Presbyterian regarding its hiring and supervision policies pertaining to its most vulnerable patients – those in the pediatric ward.

"We always suspected that Rosenschein sexually molested his patients and now we have filed the first lawsuit of its kind illustrating this abuse. Presbyterian allowed this alleged sexual predator into their hospital without fully vetting him and subjected all New Mexicans to his wrath. We are proud to represent these families and will fight for the justice they righteously deserve," said Adam T. Funk of the Potts Law Firm, who, along with Lee Hunt of the Hunt Law Firm, is representing plaintiffs in cases filed against Rosenschein and Presbyterian.

The case is titled John Doe 2 v. Guy Rosenschein, et. al., Case No. D-202-CV-2019-01899; Second Judicial District Court, Bernalillo County.
