Virginia's Attorney General has handed off jurisdiction in the sexual misconduct investigation regarding Cumberland Hospital for Children and Adolescents.
Earlier this year, the office ofhanded off its jurisdiction in a long-running investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct and other abuses at a hospital that serves vulnerable children.
The lawsuits and other concerns from patients' parents about the hospital, which have been highlighted by persistent reporting from Richmond TV station WTVR, have raised alarms at the highest levels of state government over at least two gubernatorial administrations. Virginia State Police began investigating staff at the hospital in October 2017 and that work is ongoing, spokesperson Corinne Geller said. The full scope and targets of the probe have not been made public.
Renick, who has one deputy and one assistant prosecutor, said in an interview that he did not ask that jurisdiction be returned to him. "The absence of a conflict two years into his term does not explain a withdrawal he did not request," Benjamin, who reviewed reporting about the investigation and court documents at the request of the AP, wrote in an email.
The Cumberland hospital is a subsidiary of publicly traded, Pennsylvania-based Universal Health Services Inc., which operates behavioral health and other health care facilities across the country and was also named as a defendant in Biniazan’s clients’ lawsuit.
