A Colorado teen who alleges she was sexually assaulted at a Utah facility for “troubled” youth is suing Phil McGraw and ViacomCBS for negligence, alleging the star of the popular 'Dr. Phil' show and his staff recommended and arranged for her treatment
The lawsuit says one such red flag involved a 2012 lawsuit claiming ranch staff subjected a 15-year-old girl to threats of suffocation, physical abuse that left her bleeding, sleep deprivation, and stress positions akin to “torture.”
“Hannah needs to go to the Ranch to have any chance at a good life. It’s that serious we help her right now and today,” Dr. Phil, whose full name is Phil McGraw, allegedly said, according to the lawsuit. “At the Ranch, Hannah will be in a safe environment, eat well, be treated well, and have multiple therapies.”
After the show taping, Hannah was taken directly from the soundstage in Los Angeles to the ranch in Utah. There, she was sexually assaulted twice by a male staff member, the lawsuit claims. The second incident involved the same male staffer “aggressively” slipping his hand under her buttocks and touching her vaginal area, the lawsuit states.
