Doctor Accused of Abuse and Exploitation | Cincinnati News

A former Cincinnati Children’s doctor, Howard Saal, faces a devastating new civil lawsuit from 38 children and 12 former patients alleging he sexually abused them under the guise of medical care — including performing unnecessary genital exams and taking photos for his own gratification. While federal charges already target his massive collection of child abuse material, this suit directly accuses him of exploitation and claims the hospital failed to protect patients by ignoring photo requests and allowing unchecked access. As criminal proceedings continue with possible plea talks, the civil case seeks damages against both Saal and the hospital, exposing systemic failures that let abuse persist.
