Arias Sanguinetti: 112 More Women File Cases Against Cedars-Sinai Former OBGYN Barry Brock for Sexual Abuse and Alleged Hospital Cover-Up Spanning Decades

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Arias Sanguinetti Wang & Team LLP and The DiPietro Law Firm announced the filing of a new lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court on behalf of 112 additional women who were sexually assaulted, harassed, and abused by obstetrician-gynecologist Dr. Barry J. Brock during examinations and procedures at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and their affiliated clinics.

Multiple Cedars-Sinai entities allegedly engaged in a decades-long cover-up that enabled and concealed Brock's serial sexual abuse and exploitation of patients under the guise of medical care.

According to the complaint, Cedars-Sinai and its affiliates ignored and suppressed numerous complaints from patients and staff, renewed Brock's privileges despite reports of misconduct, and failed to notify law enforcement or state medical licensing agencies and regulators. Brock engaged in all manners of sexual misconduct, including sexual assault, gender violence, harassment, and exploitation of patients.

"Cedars-Sinai had both a moral and legal duty to protect its patients," said Mike Arias, managing partner of Arias Sanguinetti. "Instead, the institution knowingly enabled a serial predator and prioritized its reputation over the safety of women who trusted them with their care. As more and more brave women continue to come forward, it becomes painfully clear how deeply Cedars failed those in its care. We will continue standing with survivors and fighting to hold the institution fully accountable."

This latest filing brings the total number of victims represented by Arias Sanguinetti and The DiPietro Law Firm to 330 women, marking one of the largest sexual abuse actions ever filed against a California medical institution. The firm is seeking injunctive relief requiring Cedars-Sinai to implement systemic reforms to prevent future abuse.

"Each of these women were placed in a position of vulnerability under the guise of medical care," said Anthony T. DiPietro of The DiPietro Law Firm. "They are coming forward now to hold the institution accountable, expose the wrongdoers, and ensure that no other patient has to endure the same trauma."

The case, Jane Doe #10, et al. v. Barry J. Brock, M.D., et al., is filed in the Los Angeles County Superior Court (Case No. 25STCV30206).
