The National Council on Identity Policy (NCIDP) - Firewire News Case Study: Rapists Protected by SF Doctors at Lyon-Martin Women's Health Clinic

The National Council on Identity Policy (NCIDP) was born of the struggles of one tenacious survivor of domestic violence and stalking. The NCIDP continues her work with the help of many. Read more about the NCIDP...

This is one Case Study of a series run by Firewire News about San Francisco cases.

(Firewire News) – A victim of rape was refused a rape kit exam several hours after her rape at the hands of an abusive, violent partner. The doctor's response to the rape report and reason for refusal of the request for a rape kit exam: "I can't possibly believe that [the rapist] would ever do anything like that!"

IIULA status:

Lyon-Martin Women's Health Clinic is known by the NCIDP to have had previous full notice of a standardized Survivor's Identity Information User License Agreement (IIULA) prior to this incident.

Every breach of law perpetrated in this case at Lyon-Martin Women's Health Clinic, as discussed here and noted in the IIULA, was well known by Lyon-Martin Women's Health Clinic, and all involved individual perpetrators to be felony violent assault crimes before those crimes were perpetrated upon the victim(s) of this case.

The perpetrators of this case may not claim any ignorance of these laws, and must be presumed to have perpetrated these violent felony assault crimes with the willing and willful intent to do violence to the victim, including against survivors such as to willfully precipitate homicidal assaults upon such victims.

The victim had arrived at a scheduled routine appointment with her regular doctor at Lyon-Martin Women's Health Clinic in San Francisco several hours after being raped. Still well within the 72 hour window recommended for rape kit exams, the victim was upset and emotional, disclosing not only the rape, but extensive abuse and violence by the rapist, who was her partner. The rape victim also disclosed an extensive history of violence and organized crime activities by the abusive rapist that had been disclosed to the victim.

Still, the victim's own primary healthcare provider refused to perform a rape kit exam. When asked, the doctor admitted to the victim that Lyon-Martin Women's Health Clinic had rape kits on hand, and normally performed such exams, but that the doctor simply wasn't going to do it because of her personal belief that the perpetrator was too good a person to perpetrate such a crime.

The doctor insisted that the victim couldn't have been raped.

"At the NCIDP, we've come to expect this sort of thing out of San Francisco," reports the NCIDP, "a city where sociopathy has replaced compassion in healthcare. What becomes strikingly bizarre about this is that several months earlier the victim had very specifically asked if the doctor knew her partner because the victim knew that both had worked at the same hospital in the past. That is, the victim was wise enough to attempt to maintain that safety barrier, that safety net, of preventing any direct cross links between her partner and her care providers."

The doctor specifically denied any connection to the victim's partner, and this was well before the rape and abuse charges arose. The doctor's lie, to cover up a direct connection to that abusive partner long before the victim's first indication of violence to that doctor, is telling in and of itself. It appears that the doctor lied about that connection because that connection was deeply founded in at least some of the rapist's ongoing organized crime activities. The lie then, additionally, permitted that doctor to later protect the abusive rapist.

The NCIDP went on, "We suspect that both the provider and the rapist may have had an established involvement with the terrorist organization that so proudly claims to 'own' San Francisco. The extensive, decades-long involvement of the rapist in organized crime, in general, has been well documented. The criminal involvements of the provider, and their mutual connections to the self-described terrorist group claiming to 'own' San Francisco, are yet to be fully exposed...."

Most San Francisco clinics and health care organizations openly admit to being intertwined with each other in what they call a "consortium". What few small organizations don't, as an organization, openly make such admission still seem to be predominantly staffed by individuals who are linked to that "consortium".

Shortly after disclosing the rape and violence to this doctor, the rape victim became the victim of an elaborate and carefully planned kidnapping and homicidal assault at the hands of her abusive rapist partner and known associates of that rapist.

"Given the circumstances, it seems likely that the provider informed the rapist that the victim knew too much," continued the NCIDP. "This may have directly precipitated the ensuing, carefully planned and orchestrated efforts to murder the rape victim."

Such a disclosure would constitute federal felony violations of HIPAA and several identity theft, privacy and civil rights statutes, probably including RICO. Such disclosures could also lead to a number of state felony charges that might and should include murder and conspiracy charges.

Indeed, the act itself of refusing to perform the rape kit exam may be grounds for felony charges, particularly since the offending provider at Lyon-Martin was a state actor and the law grants a victim the civil right to such an exam.

[In fact, the failure to perform the exam, and the failure to make the proper medical documentation regarding the medical complaint of the rape, deprives the victim of proper care and treatment (including justice) and is a "modification or impairment, or potential modification or impairment, of the medical examination, diagnosis, treatment, or care of 1 or more individual;" (P.L. 107-56 § 814, The Patriot Act), clearly here described in the Patriot Act and further unequivocally defined as an act of terrorism by that act. This, of course, is also the modus operandi of the terrorists that claim to 'own' San Francisco.]
