Around 8,000 women are disappointed with the settlement that they’ve been presented with after being victimized by a gynecologist.
Johns Hopkins Hospital has agreed to pay out $190 million to the former patients of Dr. Nikita Levy, who filmed their checkups without their consent, the Associated Press reports.
The women won’t be getting all of that money, though. Legal professionals attached to the case will be getting about 35 percent of that sum, which comes out to $66 million. After attorneys get their cut, the victims would each be getting about $15,500 at most–that’s assuming that the settlement is divided up evenly among the victims.

Twenty-five of the women find this settlement absurd, and they filed an objection to it, questioning how the money is going to be divided up amongst them.
Very unfortunately for the ladies, this is the closest thing to justice that they will get because Dr. Levy killed himself not long after the allegations against him went public.
The Baltimore Sun reports that it was Nikita’s assistant that discovered his creepy recordings. Hounded by her suspicion that he was up to something unethical (and flat-out wrong), she took the pen he normally wore into the exam room.

She found that the pen was actually a video camera and plugged it into her computer. That’s when she came across the graphic images he’d secretly been recording, and she blew the whistle on him.
Detectives’ files showed that 310-360 patients had been recorded, including some 60 prepubescent girls. Lawyers argue that he didn’t stop there, going on to record thousands of other patients.
It was later discovered that the gynecologist had also been filming his coworkers in the bathroom.
