Former patients accuse ex-Fox News medical pundit of sexual exploitation

Source: The Hill

Three former patients have accused Keith Ablow, a psychiatrist who was once a Fox News pundit, of abusing his position to coax them into sexual relationships, The Boston Globe reported Thursday.

The patients are reportedly suing Ablow, 57, and said in court that the relationships included beatings and discussions of bondage. One woman reportedly alleged that she was convinced to get a tattoo of the doctor's initials to demonstrate his “ownership” of her.

“He began to hit me when we engaged in sexual activities,” one woman reportedly said in court. “He would have me on my knees and begin to beat me with his hands on my breasts,” she added, “occasionally saying, ‘I own you,’ or ‘You are my slave.’ "

Two of the lawsuits were filed Thursday and the third was filed last year. Three female employees of Ablow also filed affidavits saying that he harassed them.
