Dr. Nikita A. Levy, a gynecologist at Johns Hopkins who was accused of secretly photographing and videotaping his patients, killed himself on Monday. When evidence of his crimes was discovered earlier this month, he was let go by Johns Hopkins. A statement from the hospital says, "Any invasion of patient privacy is intolerable. Dr. Levy's behavior violates Johns Hopkins code of conduct and privacy policies and is against everything for which Johns Hopkins medicine stands for."
The Baltimore City Police believe there could be a large number of victims. Levy saw around 1,000 patients since 1988.
Johns Hopkins says all of Levy's patients should contact them to see if they were victimized. Any former patients of Dr. Levy can call 1-855-546-3785, a dedicated line for this case. Baltimore Police Department can be reached at 311 from inside the city or 443-263-2220, option 2 if outside the city.
