Several women who sued their OB-GYN David Broadbent and accused him of sexual assault say they were confused and hurt after seeing he placed third in the “Best Fertility” category of Utah Valley Magazine's 'Best Of' issue.
Utah magazine apologizes after including an OB-GYN repeatedly accused of sexual assault in its ‘Best Of’ issue
Utah Valley Magazine’s social media pages have been flooded with comments in the last three days from Utahns who have questioned why the publication recognized someone who has been accused of sexual assault by so many women. Did his past patients rally to vote for him, she wondered? That possibility felt like a “slap in the face.” Or was it an effort led by his friends? That forced her to remember a time when she said a person who knew Broadbent contacted her on the phone and called her a liar.In response, the magazine on Tuesday removed Broadbent’s name from the online list and apologized. It plans to issue an apology in its next print issue.
After seeing that he received enough votes to make the top three, Bennett said, magazine staff checked to see that Broadbent’s license hadn’t been revoked by the state. The majority of comments about Broadbent on Utah Valley Magazine’s Instagram page were posted in the last 72 hours. However, one woman questioned the magazine’s decision 15 weeks ago, when the nominees were announced and reader voting was opened.
