In June, Derrick Todd was placed on administrative leave. “Brigham made the decision to terminate him at the conclusion of the internal investigation in July. Dr. Todd then reportedly resigned.”
In September, following a notification to the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine, Derrick Todd agreed to stop practicing medicine (in Massachusetts or any other state).
Derrick Todd Sexual Assault | What can survivors do?
Survivors of sexual assault face many challenges and consequences that can last for years. In situations like these, it is crucial to reach out to family and friends for support, as well as doctors and professionals who can help you through the recovery process. It is also paramount to hold the perpetrators accountable: sexual predators and the negligent institutions that failed to provide a safe environment, or did not respond appropriately upon being notified about the crime.
The legal process is an effective and therapeutic tool to facilitate the healing process for many survivors. It presents an opportunity to regain their power by holding the perpetrator, and other responsible parties, accountable.
