Gynecologist Hid Camera, Patients Consider Lawsuits
A gynecologist hid a camera inside a pen and secretly recorded unimaginably invasive videos of patients, The Inquisitr reported earlier, taking his own life as investigators began to question him about the terrifying violation earlier this month.
The gynecologist who hid a camera pen during exams was Dr. Nikita Levy of the prestigious Johns Hopkins Hospital, and the women’s health clinician was escorted from the facility in early February after it was discovered that he may have been secreting the devices and filming patients. Levy, 54, was the gynecological care provider to nearly 1,000 patients at a community clinic local to Johns Hopkins’ main campus, several news sources have reported.
In our earlier report on the gynecologist and how he hid the camera in a pen, we noted that “police revealed [earlier in February] that at least some of the images were captured with a camera hidden in the top of a pen,” but more worryingly, “authorities were exploring whether the recordings had been distributed.” Levy was found dead after an apparent suicide last week, taking all answers with him, but police say they found an “extraordinary” amount of evidence at the doctor’s Towson, Maryland home after his death.
ABC News now reports some class action suits have been filed on behalf of patients of the gynecologist who hid a camera pen during intimate exams, and the network says:
“The employee [who suspected the gynecologist hid a camera] told hospital officials of her suspicions Feb. 4, according to a letter from the hospital’s CEO, Dr. Paul B. Rothman. The letter was dated Tuesday and sent to the law firm of Silverman Thompson Slutkin & White, which is working with the Maryland Crime Victims’ Resource Center. The law firm gave a copy of the letter to The Associated Press on Wednesday.”
ABC adds that law enforcement officers are currently working to find out whether the gynecologist who hid a pen was working with “anyone else was involved in making the records, and whether any have been posted on the Internet or sold.”
The gynecologist who hid the camera in a pen is not the only recent such case. A prominent Manhattan urologist was recently accused of engaging in similar behavior outside the doctor patient setting on the New York City Subways.

Something smells fishy!
Feb 28, 2013
and you are a PIG !!
Feb 28, 2013
how is that anyone's fault except the Doctors?
Feb 28, 2013
Not sure but I think this was a slippery slope he was traveling down.
Feb 28, 2013
Agree with May, Tom you are a BIG PIG!
Feb 28, 2013
You'll find perverts in every walk of life. Some of the worst are those whom we place the greatest trust. (physicians, police officers, clergy).
Feb 28, 2013
I always felt uncomfortable while being seen by a male gynecologist and this is another reason why!
Feb 28, 2013
show pictures
Feb 28, 2013
seen one, & you've seen them all.

Has anyone considered he may have been recording to have evidence of no wrongdoing in case he was sued for malpractice?
Feb 28, 2013
Sure, and he was just uploading them up online so others could see he had no wrongdoing, right? smh

This author absolutely SUCKS! How many times can you say "The gynecologist who hid the camera in a pen"? Is it a drinking game?
Feb 28, 2013
I'd say this doctor was in pretty deep….
Feb 28, 2013
What a lowlife! I suppose the 'doctor' thought he could get away with it if the patients' faces were not shown. Well, he was wrong- and he was a coward to take his own life to avoid punishment.
Feb 28, 2013
What a lowlife SOB! I suppose the 'doctor' thought he could get away with it if the patients' faces were not shown. Well, he was wrong- and he was a coward for taking his own life to avoid punishment.
Feb 28, 2013
And this is why I do not understand why a woman would choose a man as a Gyne…
Feb 28, 2013
Funny!!!
Feb 28, 2013
Pun intended?
Feb 28, 2013
I see nothing wrong with this.
Feb 28, 2013
Wonder how funny this would be if it was your mother wife or even your daughters?? Would'nt that be funny to see them on a porn site somewhere?
Feb 28, 2013
my interweb pr0n search normally includes, "dirty infected vaginas".
Feb 28, 2013
that'd kinda sexist…
what is the female was homosexual, or the male was homosexual?
Feb 28, 2013
Seen one, ya seen 'em all.
Feb 28, 2013
Seen one, ya seen 'em all.
Feb 28, 2013
It probably wouldn't be funny, but it would certainly kill my boner.
Feb 28, 2013
Where can we see the pictures?
Feb 28, 2013
I get it….. fishy!
Feb 28, 2013
that was the 1st thought that came to my mind
Feb 28, 2013
It's like a modern day combination of the TV shows "Candid Camera" and "Leave it to Beaver".
Feb 28, 2013
What is wrong with people?
Feb 28, 2013
After looking at lady parts all day long you'd think he'd be sick and tired of them.
Feb 28, 2013
↓↓ This guy tried to open a mens only gynecology clinic. ↓↓
Feb 28, 2013
Wow you sound like a real class(less) act! lowlife and you're probably the president if the BIG PIG CLUB
Feb 28, 2013
I would say he put him self in a deep hole in which he obviously could not pull himself out of.
Feb 28, 2013
LOL!
Feb 28, 2013
Question: If the doctor told his/her patients that they had a security camera in the examination room, for "patient/doctor safety" would that make anyone feel more comfortable? I am not trying to be sly, or disgusting here. I ask the question only to understand if the knowledge of such a device would make this situation a little bit less intrusive.
Feb 28, 2013
Sick in the mind'' Let me reasure you not all men are pigs,
Feb 28, 2013
It sounds kind of like the Dr. on "Hand That Rocks The Cradle" where he was a PIG and then took the chicken way out and killed himself when he got caught. I also won't go to a man Gyno. I think it's a wierd choice. I could just see how aweful it would be (or not) for a man to have to describe his personal ailments in detail to a woman THEN show her where it hurts!
Feb 28, 2013
What's wrong with that?
Feb 28, 2013
hahahahahahahahahaha
Feb 28, 2013
The security camera would not be right between your legs…it would be in a secure spot on the wall to make sure jerk doctors like him couldn't do this sort of thing…and worse. A little common sense spclednta?
Feb 28, 2013
the world is a better place with him not in it!
Feb 28, 2013
how ignorant! Does he really need the camera (disg. as a pen) in his shirt pocket with a front row view??? The camera should be on the ceiling, not pointing directly at the vagina.
Feb 28, 2013
I love how the writer thinks this Doctor created this pen in a workshop in his basement or something…

take the perverted freak out back of the courthouse and shoot him, do this to all depraved a-holes and rid the world of brain damaged, mentally ill f-ups.
Feb 28, 2013
shoot him in the head, all brain damaged, mentally ill perverted a-holes should have the same, when we rid the world of this sickness all will be fine.
Feb 28, 2013
And why didn't a nurse report this earlier? Doesn't a female nurse usually come in the room, so this neer happens.
Feb 28, 2013
I guess you've seen one, you've seen them all??
No?
I don't know what I'm talking about then.
Sorry!
: (
Feb 28, 2013
I'm curious how he could be filming women's parts and still be examining them. not to be gross but don't they use both hands for that?
Feb 28, 2013
I had a female gynecologist ONCE. I thought she was going to pull me apart. Never again. Now I just don't go at all.
Feb 28, 2013
I think it's weird to have a woman look at and up my "whoha" – if my doctor wants to take secret pix of me, well so be it; in that chair you have nothing to hide anyway. I will admit it creepy – but really, what I don't know, won't kill me.
Feb 28, 2013
Umm – law firm of SLUT-KIN….???
Feb 28, 2013
pervs are everywhere, people beware.

couldn't think of anything intelligent eh? you must be from new york. also, you're an inbred.

I have a pussy pen.

What did June Cleaver say when she was going through menopause? Ward, I'm really worried about the Beaver!
Feb 28, 2013
@Ryan..sound there isn't anything you rather do/discuss with a man vs. a woman? I suppose you feel ladies room concept are sexist since homosexual females are able to go in, but men cant..geez
Feb 28, 2013
or the patient was a lesbian but had hidden desires for straights and the gyno was a homo with no interest with women but liked lesbos who talked dirty about lady parts. would that be sexist?
Feb 28, 2013
The hospital should not have to pay any money unless it can be proven that they knew this was going on and did nothing to stop it. Getting sick and tired of all these frivolous lawsuits. People wanting money for nothing. The doctor was a pervert and if you want to sue anyone, sue the doctor's estate, not the hospital.
Feb 28, 2013
Thankyou MayMclauchlan. He talks about smells, I'm surprised he can smell anything but his own filthy stench.
Feb 28, 2013
Ryan Terdle
"Dirty lady parts"???? Wow.
Feb 28, 2013
so the women who reported this just cost the hospital a ton of money. Is she going to be the employee of the month or is she going to be fired. Where I come from she would be fired. It's a twisted society lets wait and see.
Feb 28, 2013
We know
Feb 28, 2013
some look like bubble gum
Feb 28, 2013
At your cervix!
Feb 28, 2013
Sick f&*k.
Feb 28, 2013
i agree
Feb 28, 2013
Sounds like he opened Pandora's box?
Feb 28, 2013
glad he killed himself.
Feb 28, 2013
Wait, you think it's okay for a man to look up into your vagina, but not a woman? What in the heck is wrong with you? I would NEVER let any man down there but my HUSBAND. My husband would think it's super strange if I said I would only see a male gynecologist. Makes no sense. I go to a woman, and she understands me unlike a man, who could be getting an erection down there for all I know. GROSS.
Feb 28, 2013
Ryan Terdle there is nothing sexist about preferring to see a woman gynecologist. Would you like a woman doctor to be giving you a prostate exam? Get real, jerk.
Feb 28, 2013
Levy, must of been the bank robber…..who walked in and said " s-p-r-e-a-d 'em ".
Feb 28, 2013
He probably recorded them to "use" for his own private pleasure later. Ewwwwwww.
Feb 28, 2013
Well, at least it has a happy ending.
Feb 28, 2013
I am surprised this did not happen in Australia being land down under!
Feb 28, 2013
Ah the land down under!
Feb 28, 2013
Older women had no choice and had to go to a man because there were no women gyno's. Then they got used to that and feel funny going to a woman. My mom thinks it's "weird" to go to a woman gynecologist, but I would ONLY go to a woman.
Feb 28, 2013
What is the world coming too. Catholic church pedophiles. The cop that wanted to kill and eat women. Mass gun shootings. Jodi Arias butcher. Cannot understand what is going on.
Feb 28, 2013
notice how only nasty old women are getting offended calling him a pig. guess they're said fishy smellers themselves. gross old ladies
Feb 28, 2013
I want to see the case photos.
Feb 28, 2013
You think he would be sick of looking at them.
Feb 28, 2013
YOu'd think he'd be sick of looking at them.
Feb 28, 2013
If he's going to kill himself, why not just book a one way ticket to some other part of the world? What do you have to lose? You can always hang yourself in jail. Ok, well…onto go read about some lady from Vegas having sex with a pitbull. Begs the question, was this a bet that she lost?
Just when you think you heard it all! Gotta love the net.
Feb 28, 2013
June told Ward, " you were really hard on the beaver last night"………………
Feb 28, 2013
Would I take my car to a mechanic who's only ever ridden bicycles and can't drive? No. Hence: Female gynecologists for me.
Feb 28, 2013
Hey-'member the doc who slyly impregnated females he was treating for infertility issues? somehow, he got busy while doin "exams"………he fathered a buncha kids with patients, before he ws caught, etc…………
Feb 28, 2013
Lynn Olsson ….nothing wrong with female gynecologist–it's a choice of modesty. who wants a man, who is not your husband, gazing up your crack….EWWW!!!
Feb 28, 2013
What do you do with someone like him? Jail just doesn't seem enough other than hoping someone will violate him as well as he did to these woman. Shame on you. Payback is a beach…..
Feb 28, 2013
I have to agree. Not that I'm granting permission to do these things but…
Feb 28, 2013
Am I the only one that finds it hilarious that one of the law firm's names is Slutkin?
Feb 28, 2013
He killed himself because he was guilty. Disgusting PIG!

HAHAHA! That's pretty awesome! Yay for undercover pussy scoping!

Feb 28, 2013
To elaborate, most of the comments are snide and very insulting to women.
Feb 28, 2013
He shot himself? What a shame. I am sure one of his patients or their husbands/boyfriends would have done that for him and saved him a bullet! What a pos. Hope Satan is vidoe taping what's happening to his ass right about now!
Feb 28, 2013
I am sure 80% of the tacos he recorded were less than desirable to look at. Why would you want to record that?
Mar 1, 2013
Yeah my wife says she will never go to a female gyn again.. and hasn't in 20yrs.. The women Gyno's she says treat you like crap.. and are rough as crap and dig and pull and twist and just don't give a crap.
Mar 1, 2013
after takes pictures I think he masturbate when he looking at it.
Mar 1, 2013
Exactly!

I'm sure he used them strictly for scientific purposes!

Yeh, platoschimp is right back in the olden days there were barely any women doctors much less specialists. My current obgyn is a male and has been for 23 years, prior to that, a male also. There were no women M.D.s Since about 1995, my oncologist, my radiation oncologist, my internists, my ophthalmologist and my otolarynologist are all women. I remember years ago even having a male mammogram tech, now that was not a happy time. Since then, all female.

@lynn olsen ignorance is bliss. Just take a look at
North Korea.
Mar 1, 2013
Actually, Hal, that is why they are supposed to have assistance in there with them. Usually a nurse. Also, it is illegal to record someone nude. He was a pervert. You can't justify his actions. Hence the suicide.
Mar 1, 2013
Using a male gynocologist is like hiring a plumber without his own pipes.

Nurse Whistleblower: Doctor, can I borrow your pen?
Doctor Creepydude: No. Quiet on the set!
Mar 1, 2013
Inquisitr went a little overboard with the SEO on this article.
Mar 1, 2013
No. What about breast exams. Women still have to strip down to put a paper robe on. You're still exposed. Again, this is why doctors bring assistants into the room with them. Usually a nurse. Usually a woman. You cannot video people nude without their consent, even if for "security purposes." There are other proper measures to take. These women were violated. And I'm glad the fu*ker is dead.

Wonder if he was Related to Chuck Berry?

But how will we know which patient can sue or not sue? Have they evidence?
Mar 1, 2013
read the article, the perv killed himself.
Mar 1, 2013
I think I'd be more worried about the possibility of some electronic distribution of these photos…..not to mention the usually suspects. printed magazines! both here and abroad. I'm just saying…

now, if only more child predators would follow suit and off themselves…

To be fair, we can generalize that male gynos are pervs or that women are not gentle. Just sayin'
Mar 1, 2013
@serena, if you don't go see a gyno, you could be endangering yourself
Mar 1, 2013
Q.How is being in the mafia like eating Pus*y?
A. One slip of the tongue & you're in deep sh*t.
Mar 1, 2013
Way to go employee for telling someone your suspicions about him.
And to you men who joke about this, you are nasty. Would it be ok if this happened to your wife, mother, daughter, aunt, grandmother? Really, shame on you. This is another instance of man taking advantage of a woman. This is no joke! As someone else said, you are a pig!
Mar 1, 2013
It's scary. You can't trust anyone, anymore!
Mar 1, 2013
What a shame damn coward took his own life because he was to less of a man to take responsibility for his actions!
Mar 1, 2013
I'm wondering if the guys on here would think it was this funny if some Dr. filmed them getting a prostrate exam?
Mar 1, 2013
I don't see the big deal. I had a colonoscopy and they shoved the whole camera up inside me.
Mar 1, 2013
I chose a female Gynecologist for 4 previous pregnancy……I dont feel comfortable with male gyne.
Mar 2, 2013
the prick can lose his licence and also go to prison. this can qualify as sexual assault and if he's dealing with minors as patients then he is really fucked. maybe his cellmate will want to play doctor (proctologist).
