More About the MedStar Investigation

A lawsuit filed on April 17, 2026, against MedStar Health, Inc. and Dr. Roberson alleges that the physician violated the boundaries of patients, sexually harassed patients, and conducted sexually inappropriate examinations of patients. According to the complaint, the Maryland Board of Physicians investigated Dr. Roberson’s conduct and concluded that he behaved inappropriately towards numerous patients. The Maryland Board of Physicians suspended Dr. Roberson’s medical license on October 1, 2025, then revoked his medical license on February 2, 2026. The complaint alleges that Dr. Roberson may have harassed and/or abused more than 500 patients, and that MedStar Health, Inc. knew or should have known about Dr. Roberson’s inappropriate conduct.

Our Commitment to Excellence

Girard Sharp has earned national Tier 1 rankings for Mass Tort and Class Action Litigation and has been named to the U.S. News – Best Lawyers “Best Law Firms” list each year over the past decade. Read about some of our results. We have substantial experience in lawsuits concerning sensitive issues, including sexual misconduct, and in guiding affected individuals through the litigation process with discretion. We served as co-lead counsel in a class action against the University of Southern California and campus gynecologist Dr. George Tyndall on behalf of women who were sexually abused by Tyndall during his long tenure at USC. The case generated $215 million in recoveries for survivors and required USC to adopt and implement procedures for identification, prevention and reporting of sexual and racial misconduct. Girard Sharp lawyers also filed a class action lawsuit against UCLA on behalf of women treated by UCLA gynecologist Dr. James Heaps. Heaps was charged with sexual battery and exploitation of patients while working as a staff gynecologist at UCLA—a position he held for almost thirty years. The UC Regents agreed to resolve the claims for $73 million and injunctive relief measures.
