Netflix documentary 'Take Care of Maya' has accused Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital in St. Petersburg of sexual abuse. She has filed a criminal complaint against the hospital. According to the Daily Mail, the 17-year-old girl has filed a criminal complaint with the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Department involving the hospital.
Earlier, she filed a case of medical malpractice against the same hospital and won it. The girl complained of an assault and battery at the hospital between October 8 and October 13, 2016. Now, the hospital faces damages of $261 million.
A Florida jury found the hospital liable on all counts against it and gave the ruling that the facility wrongfully separated the girl from her mother — who later took her own life.
The jury ordered that the girl and her family be given money for a range of offenses, including wrongfully placing the child under video surveillance for 48 consecutive hours and making her strip down to shorts and a training bra for a photograph.
The jury also found that a hospital staffer committed misconduct by sometimes kissing the then 10-year-old and having her sit on her lap. Putting the case before the jury, Attorney Greg Anderson said that while the girl was in 'imprisonment' at the hospital, a man who appeared to be a doctor came into her room and pulled down her pajamas and underwear and stared at and touched her private parts.
He told the Daily Mail, «She suppressed this until about four weeks ago, [but] she did put in some notes to both the psychiatrist there at the time Dr. Katzenstein and later to Dr. Henschke, the two female psychiatrists that she saw along the way.”
