Overview

• Michigan Sexual Assault Lawyers filed a new complaint Tuesday alleging Wilfredo Figueroa-Berrios drugged a woman at Sinai-Grace on July 26 and performed an unnecessary pap smear before assaulting her.
• The plaintiff’s attorney says a hospital rape kit tested positive and the woman reported the incident to police after discharge.
• Attorney Tim Holland announced plans for another filing in the coming weeks and held a 10:30 a.m. press conference to outline additional allegations, including claims of drugging and unnecessary procedures.
• Attorneys say at least seven more alleged victims have come forward since earlier suits were filed against DMC Sinai-Grace and parent company Tenet Healthcare for purported failures in screening and handling complaints.
• Figueroa-Berrios faces multiple criminal sexual conduct charges in separate cases, is free on a $100,000 bond with GPS and a curfew, has a preliminary exam set for Oct. 20, and the hospital says it notified law enforcement, suspended him, and later terminated his employment.
