## Resource

A Portland podiatrist, Brian Bowen, 52, received a 100-month prison sentence for sexually abusing 13 female patients during exams and post-surgery recovery—exploiting their vulnerability with subtle manipulation that left victims confused and doubting themselves. Convicted in June, he pleaded guilty to first-degree sexual abuse and fraud charges. The sentence sends a clear message: medical professionals who abuse power will face serious consequences, reinforcing accountability and patient safety in the healthcare system.
