"These defendants can never undo the harm they've caused to our clients, but this lawsuit seeks accountability and financial recovery that we hope will, in some way, make up for what they've suffered, " Attorney Kevin Biniazan said. According to the 69-page complaint, the 20 former Cumberland Children's Hospital patients experienced sexual abuse and physical abuse from both physicians, staff and other residents. Among the abuses, the civil lawsuit states: 12 of the 20 alleged victims reported non-consensual and unwanted touching. Davidow placed his hands beneath the undergarments of female patients 12 years and older and sexually abused them by intentionally touching their intimate parts. Employees and fellow patients physically assaulted other residents resulting in long-term physical and mental pain resulting in PTSD, depression, sleep disorders and bodily injuries. Roommates and other patients sexually abused younger, weaker plaintiffs after hours, entering the alleged victims' rooms without intervention from staff.

NEW KENT COUNTY, Va. (WWBT) - The families of 20 former patients at a New Kent county children's hospital filed a 127 million dollar civil lawsuit alleging sexual and physical abuse. The nine-count civil lawsuit was filed Tuesday in Richmond Circuit Court over reports of abuse at the Cumberland Children's Hospital in New Kent County that allegedly occurred over at least a 12-year period. The civil lawsuit also states: The hospital and its owner, Universal Health Services (UHS), based in King of Prussia, PA, committed fraud by keeping patients at Cumberland beyond the time necessary for treatment in order to maximize revenue, ignored reports from patients, families and employees of the ongoing abuse and provided misleading information to parents to keep children in their custody. The complaint further alleges that UHS and Cumberland had inadequate staff to oversee its operation and therefore failed to protect the health and safety of patients, twelve of whom suffered from "non-consensual and unwanted touching" by Dr. Davidow, who approved all admissions to the facility in his capacity as medical director.
