Villanueva v. St. Vincent’s Medical Center (Bridgeport Superior Court – filed Dec 19, 2014) The plaintiff, a middle-aged man with liver disease, was a patient at St. Vincent’s in May of 2013 where he awoke to a hospital employee sexually assaulting him. Gonzalo Flores, a 51-year-old certified nursing assistant who was hired by St. Vincent’s in August of 2011, was investigated by the hospital after a previous patient made a formal complainant regarding similar sexual misconduct but the hospital not only took no action, they continued to allow Flores access to patients with no supervision or warning to others, similar to the pattern we’ve documented through our cases against St Francis Hospital during the Reardon years.
