NYT, WSJ Win Access To Report Of IHS Doctor s Sex Abuse
Law360 (January 13, 2021, 6:58 PM EST) A New York federal judge ordered the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to release a report to The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times detailing the sexual abuse committed by a former Indian Health Service pediatrician against Native American children.
U.S. District Judge Gabriel Gorenstein ruled on Wednesday that the report commissioned from a private consultant was not protected from two Freedom of Information Act suits leveled by the newspapers and a reporter under an exemption that makes reports on the quality of medical care confidential.
