SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Supreme Court is considering whether to revive a sexual assault lawsuit leveled by 94 women against a Provo OB-GYN.
In the Utah Supreme Court chambers, dozens of women and their supporters sat and watched as attorneys and the justices went back and forth over legal arguments. They wore teal colored ribbons in a sign of solidarity. The women appealed to the Utah Supreme Court arguing their initial lawsuit should stand on its own. On Friday, the justices questioned the line of what's under the umbrella of medical malpractice law and sexual assault.
Judge Michele Christiansen Forster also focused on aspects of Utah law that declare what falls under medical malpractice. Intermountain Healthcare's attorney argued that the plaintiffs' claims fall under medical malpractice. Dr. Broadbent has denied wrongdoing in comments made through his attorney. The Utah Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing said he has agreed to not practice medicine while the allegations play out in court.
