"Dominique Lee was training in radiation oncology when she was invited to join
her supervisor to discuss a training opportunity. Instead, she was drugged and
sexually assaulted.
Lee reported the crime, and John Kearsley was sentenced two years later.
Kearsley has since been sentenced for another sexual assault against the
daughter of a patient.
For Lee, the impact of that assault has been profound. “It’s taken almost ten
years to look at myself in the mirror and not feel shame and hate,” she says.
“All I wanted to do was stop him from hurting other women, and that was my one
agenda. I wasn’t set out to destroy his career. He did that on his own.”
Lee is not alone. It is always difficult to measure how often sexual harassment
and assault occurs, but global estimates suggest around 33% of doctors in
training have experienced sexual harassment in the workplace. Women are at
higher risk and especially women in training."
