Were You or a Loved One Abused During a Foster Care Medical Exam?
If you or a loved one experienced inappropriate touching or abuse during a medical exam while in Santa Clara County foster care, you may have legal options—even if you don’t remember the doctor’s name.
Dr. Patrick Clyne worked as a doctor for children in Santa Clara County. He was also a foster parent. Civil lawsuits claim that he sexually abused children during medical exams and through foster care.
These are allegations. Dr. Clyne has not been arrested, indicted, charged with, or convicted of a crime related to these claims.
Some lawsuits also name Santa Clara County and former County officials. They claim officials received warnings about Dr. Clyne but did not do enough to protect children.
A legal review can help determine whether the County or another organization may be responsible.
