Dr. Caitlin Bernard and Dr. Amy Caldwell asked the judge to issue a preliminary injunction that would freeze Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita's investigation and subpoenas while the lawsuit goes forward.
, and her medical partner Dr. Amy Caldwell claim in their lawsuit Rokita's office has sent subpoenas for medical records of patients who never filed complaints to the attorney general's office.
Rokita's office said in a prepared statement Thursday it investigates"thousands of potential licensing, privacy, and other violations a year." IndyStar requested information on the complaints from Rokita's office. Those requests were denied in September, but the lawsuit filed Thursday by Bernard and Caldwell describe what some of them said.Seven people filed consumer complaints against Bernard to the Indiana Attorney General's Office between July 8 and July 12, according to the lawsuit.
One complaint said Bernard"kept knowledge of the rape of a 10 year old from authorities." In July, however, the Indiana Department of Health provided IndyStar a copy of a termination of pregnancy report filled out by Bernard that confirmed she did report the abortion, and alerted the state that the 10-year-old had suffered abuse.Another complaint from a resident in Ohio accused Bernard of spreading false information by relating the anecdote of the 10-year-old to media.
But in the weeks after IndyStar published the story on Bernard, authorities in Ohio charged a man with rape in connection with the 10-year-old. Columbus police were informed of the girl's pregnancy through a referral by Franklin County Children Services that was made by her mom June 22.
