## Resource

A Portland podiatrist, Brian Bowen, has been sentenced to over eight years in prison after admitting to sexually abusing thirteen patients—touching them in intimate areas during exams and post-surgery recovery. Prosecutors say the abuse was subtle, lacking explicit comments, which led victims to confuse it with routine care, allowing it to continue for years. Convicted of first-degree sexual abuse and additional misdemeanor charges, Bowen’s sentence underscores the devastating betrayal of trust in healthcare—and sends a clear message: abuse of power, especially by medical professionals, will not be tolerated.
