Overview
- A new civil lawsuit filed Jan. 16 by Gould, Grieco & Hensley represents 14 patients who say Wilfredo Figueroa-Berrios assaulted them while they were under care at Sinai-Grace.
- Plaintiffs claim hospital records show an April 2024 complaint should have alerted Sinai-Grace to troubling conduct early in the nurse’s tenure.
- Sinai-Grace said it prioritizes patient safety, contacted law enforcement upon learning of allegations, suspended and then terminated the employee, and is cooperating with authorities.
- Figueroa-Berrios already faced multiple criminal sexual assault charges, including an alleged May 2025 attack in a porta-potty near Grand Circus Park.
- Court filings indicate three new criminal sexual conduct cases were entered under seal on Friday, with a motion hearing set for Jan. 30 and a trial expected to begin April 13.
