On January 31, 2023, the United States Attorney for the District of New Mexico announced that a court had sentenced Dr. Guy Rosenschein to more than 17 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to federal child pornography charges in October 2022. Before that conviction, however, Dr. Rosenschein allegedly molested and abused dozens or potentially hundreds of minor children in his role as a pediatric urologist at Albuquerque’s Presbyterian Hospital, as well as while working as a pediatric surgeon in several other states.
If you or your child experienced sexual abuse as a patient of Dr. Rosenschein’s at any point between 2001 and 2016, you likely have grounds to join many other people in filing suit over the harm caused. For those seeking to pursue Dr. Guy Rosenschein sexual abuse lawsuits, assistance is available from the seasoned attorneys at Phillips Law Group, all of whom have extensive experience achieving results in cases such as this.
Beginning in 2001, Dr. Guy Rosenschein served as the head of the Pediatric Urology department within the Presbyterian Hospital system. In addition to New Mexico, he practiced as a pediatric urologist in Arkansas, New York, Missouri, and other states. In 2016, federal detectives received a tip about the uploading of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and traced that material to Dr. Rosenschein’s New Mexico residence. Subsequent investigations revealed that Dr. Rosenschein had over 19,000 images and over 2,000 videos in his possession that constituted CSAM.
In 2019, a former Arkansas patient of Dr. Rosenschein’s filed a civil lawsuit in New Mexico over alleged sexual abuse that began when the plaintiff was 11 years old and continued for several years. In 2024, authorities formally charged Dr. Rosenschein with multiple counts of sexual assault and rape, and numerous other former patients have come forward to report grooming, manipulation, sexual molestation, and rape committed by Dr. Rosenschein.
Anyone who received medical treatment from Dr. Rosenschein as a minor child and experienced any form of sexual mistreatment or abuse from him is eligible to file civil suit against Dr. Rosenschein for economic and non-economic damages stemming from that abuse. Plaintiffs may also be able to hold the Presbyterian Hospital system and other medical organizations liable for the role they played in facilitating or negligently permitting Dr. Rosenschein’s abuse of so many vulnerable patients over such a long period.
However, applicable filing deadlines for such claims may vary depending on the state in which the abuse occurred and the state that has jurisdiction over any civil proceedings. For instance, plaintiffs in New Mexico have three years from either their 18th birthday or the date on which they reported abuse to a licensed medical or mental health provider to file suit over childhood sexual abuse, while plaintiffs in New York have up to five years to file suit after the conclusion of a criminal prosecution against their abuser.
Especially given the various deadlines that may apply, it is crucial that those with grounds to file Dr. Guy Rosenschein sexual abuse lawsuits act quickly. As any experienced attorney knows, however, pursuing this type of litigation can be an immensely stressful experience, not to mention a legally complex one.
