A doctor in a women's prison in California has been accused of performing 'sadistic' sexual abuse against six prisoners, including alleged grooving, powerful penetration and permanent malformation during rough investigations.
Dr. Scott Lee, 70, abused female prisoners in the California Institution for Women in Chino for a period of seven years, according to a civil court case that was filed by his alleged victims and the California Coalition for Women Prisoners.
In the civil complaint, obtained by DailyMail.com, the prisoners claim that they have penetrated vigorously during unnecessary and invasive medical examinations and 'retribution' were confronted, including withholding medical treatment if they refused.
The six anonymous women also complained prison officials, whom they accuse to close an eye for their complaints.
The women are all survivors of domestic violence who, according to their lawyer, are locked up for crimes against their abusers.
A plaintiff, known as Jane Doe 1, is a survivor of sexual abuse who claims that Dr. Lee her sexual organs permanently deformed during a rough study that took place for another medical professional.
She claims that he then threatened to withhold a required medication when she wanted to submit a complaint.
“I was shocked. I was stunned, “she told the Los Angeles Times. 'For years I had reconciled myself from trauma in the past. I felt safer in prison than in the free world.

“I built myself back in that area and then it was destroyed.”
Another plaintiff, known as Jane Doe 4, said she was seven and a half months pregnant when she was examined by Lee.
The doctor, “touched her breast area and touched her pelvic area strongly,” says the lawsuit.
The investigation was said to be so brutal that according to the court case it left the doctor's fingers 'covered with blood'.
“I said to him:” You hurt me. “I remember holding my stomach, and I was just praying, God, please let this be over, please let this be over, please let this be over,” she said.
“I felt he was raping my baby. When he took his hand out, it was covered with blood. '
Another woman claims that Lee said she received repeated smears, refused to leave the room while she undressed and was 'aggressive and sexual' during the investigations.
'At at least one occasion, Dr. Lee investigated the breasts of Jane Doe # 5 in a sexualized and inappropriate way. The chaperones of the nurses did not succeed in Dr. Lee's actions, “the archive says.
An extra claimant claims that she was forced to get an IUD that was inserted after she asked for contraception, because Lee told her that the injection she had normally obtained was not available.

As a survivor of sexual attack, she asked that the doctor 'goes slowly' according to the court case.
Lee, however, triggered strongly to insert the device and ignored her supplications to stop, causing bleeding and pain that did not stop three months after the procedure, the archiving states.
'Jane Doe #3 Leed Extreme pain, excessive bleeding and severe trauma. She remains terrified of seeing a gynecologist and has not searched for gynecological care since her released, “is the lawsuit.
The woman told De la Times that the pain was so intense that she could “hardly sit”.
The other women do similar accusations about traumatic and unnecessary studies, including grabbing and invasive contact.
The alleged victims said they have expressed concern about the management of the prison during a town hall meeting in November 2023 on the prevention of sexual violence in prisons.
Jane Doe 1 said she was motivated to pronounce after collecting testimony from other women about their alleged experiences with Lee.
However, the claimants claim in the court case that their symptoms fell on deaf ears.
'Instead of taking action to further harm the imprisoned population, these defendants ignored constant complaints against multiple doctors who conduct horrible studies in patients at CIW, including suspicious Dr. Lee, “is the complaint.
The six anonymous women also complained prison officials, whom they accuse to close an eye for their complaints. One of the plaintiffs started collecting bills of the encounters of other prisoners with Dr. Lee in this diary
The lawsuit is not looking for -specificed damage that must be determined during a jury court.
“CDCR has a long history of neglecting basic needs on the women of women, giving priority to the needs of the male population,” Justice first said lawyer Jenny Huang.
'For too many years, the patients of Dr. Lee about his predatory behavior, but nobody listened, nobody gave it. “
The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation confirmed that the doctor no longer treats patients in the facility.
'Although we cannot comment on human resources, Dr. Scott Lee no longer direct personal contact with patients, 'a spokesperson told DailyMail.com, speaking on behalf of Correctional Health Care Services in California
Lee obtained his medical license in 1984 and remains valid until 2026, according to the website of Medical Board of California.
Dailymail.com has contacted Lee for comment.
