Daily News | Former Rothman surgeon and then-Jefferson medical resident settle case involving sexual assault allegations
Rothman's main building is at 925 Chestnut Street, the old federal reserve building, but it's also the home of Jefferson Health's Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center. Though separate institutions, Rothman and Jefferson are financially and academically linked.
“While our clients were looking forward to testifying and presenting the evidence to the jury, they are very happy that the parties could reach a mutually amicable resolution of this matter,” said Stewart Ryan, the lawyer for Jessica and her husband, Reid Phillips, in a statement Wednesday.Testimony presented during the abbreviated trial largely centered on Abraham’s claims against Phillips, with his side expected to rest its case on Wednesday.
In late June 2018, the university launched the inquiry after Phillips alleged that she was too drunk to consent to sex with Abraham. She said she awoke in Abraham’s bed the following morning disoriented, in pain, and covered in bruises. Abraham has a separate, ongoing civil rights lawsuit against Jefferson in federal court. In that suit, Abraham says the university failed to investigate his claim that Phillips sexually assaulted him and conducted an unfair, gender-biased investigation. Jefferson has denied his assertion.
