Dr. William Thompson: How Patients Can Seek Justice and Healing

In this video, we’re discussing the serious allegations against Dr. William Thompson, a Newport Beach infectious disease specialist known for his work with the LGBTQ+ community.

Dr. Thompson faces accusations of sexually assaulting at least nine male patients. He was arrested in September 2023 and currently faces criminal charges related to deceptive sexual penetration under the guise of prostate exams. Many patients do not recognize doctor sexual abuse in the moment for a variety of reasons including the inherent trust of medical professionals and not knowing if an exam should be painful. His examinations were described as “overly aggressive” and allegations also state that he would become aroused after performing prostate exams.
