Dr. Daniel Davidow, the former medical director at the Cumberland Hospital for Children and Adolescents, was acquitted Friday of sexually abusing two teenage patients.
The former medical director of a Virginia hospital that treats vulnerable children and young adults was acquitted Friday of sexually abusing two teenage patients during physical exams. Dr. Daniel Davidow worked for decades as the medical director of the Cumberland Hospital for Children and Adolescents, a facility that treats young patients with complex medical needs, including chronic illnesses, brain injuries and neurobehavioral disorders.
Davidow's attorney, Craig Cooley, said the not guilty verdict was 'based on the evidence and the lack of credibility of the complainants.' 'He knew that this is what should happen and is very pleased that this is what did happen,' Cooley said.
Davidow is at least the third former Cumberland staffer to be charged with a crime in connection with a patient. A psychotherapist was charged with sexually abusing a patient and died by suicide the same day he was due in court for a plea hearing. A behavioral technician was sentenced to a year in prison after pleading no contest to an allegation that she intentionally burned a disabled child with scalding water.
