Indiana University OB-GYN Dr Caitlin Bernard filed a tort claim notice Tuesday against state Attorney General Todd Rokita for defamation over his public claims Bernard had not properly notified state authorities she had performed an abortion on the 10 year old rape victim from Ohio.
Separately on Tuesday the dean of the Indiana University Law School filed a formal misconduct complaint against Rokita with the state Supreme Court, alleging Rokita attempted to “harass and intimidate” Bernard and other physicians who had performed abortions in the state.
