The number of women accusing Dr. David Broadbent, a former Provo OBGYN, of sexual assault during exams is doubling.
Initially, 94 women filed a lawsuit against Broadbent, but after the Utah Supreme Court overturned a lower court’s dismissal of the case last month, more women have come forward.
These women, from different towns and backgrounds, say they are united by their similar experiences with the doctor. Their stories reveal patterns of behavior during medical exams. Stephanie Mateer said, "There are a lot of young girls who are maybe getting married and going to see their OB-GYN for the first time, and they don't know what to expect. That was my position; you know, I was 18, maybe 19. It was around my birthday when I went. I didn't know what to expect. I'd never had another examination."
"It was shortly after my exam with Dr. Broadbent, we moved to Dallas, and the wonderful women in my church congregation gave me referrals to female OBGGYN doctors they liked. I just remember feeling so much relief during that exam because it wasn't painful, and they didn't perform a rectal exam, and they used gloves," Kraniski said. "They actually found signs of an STD. And I was a virgin, churchgoing, temple attending, BYU student.
