The federal government has agreed to pay nearly $7 million to settle eight cases stemming from the sexual abuse of veterans by a former physician assistant at the VA Hospital in Leavenworth, Kansas. The settlement comes after three veterans took their cases to trial last year, resulting in hefty damage awards against the government. “We just didn’t give up,” said attorney Danny Thomas, who represented the veterans. “The Department of Justice fought these cases tooth and nail for years. They treated these veterans like dirt. They accused them of lying, they attacked their character in court and in pleadings. And we just weren’t going to stand for it.”
