RKANSAS, AND N
ACTION NEWS, ARIZONA HAS LEARNED
IS MOVING TO A THIRD STATE:
ARIZONA.
MORE ON OUR TOP STORY FROM
ACTION NEWS REPORTER PHIL GOMEZ
LIVE IN SANTA CRUZ.
PHIL: THE THIRD PERSON ARRESTED
IN THIS CASE, IS 29-YEAR-OLD
EMILY JOY STEPHENS.
SHE WAS AT ONE TIME A NURSE,
WORKING IN ARIZONA AND IS FACING
SIX FELONY COUNTS FOR CRIMES
AGAINST CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE
OF TEN AND FOURTEEN.
ALSO TODAY, WE LEARNED THE
DOCTOR JAMES KOHUT WILL BE
ARRAIGNED TOMORROW ON MULTIPLE
CHARGES OF SEXUAL OFFENSES
AGAINST CHILDREN.
THIS CASE IS RAISING QUESTIONS,
AND CONCERNS, ABOUT HOW MEDICAL
PROFESSIONALS ARE SCREENED
BEFORE THEY BEGIN WORKING WITH
PATIENTS
KOHUT WAS EMPLOYED BY THE PALO
ALTO MEDICAL FOUNDATION BUT
PERFORMED HIS SURGERIES AT
DOMINICAN HOSPITAL AND NURSE
RASHEL BRANDON ALSO WORKED AT
DOMINICAN.
NEITHER INSTITUTION WOULD ANSWER
QUESTIONS REGARDING THE
SCREENING PROCESS USED WHEN
HIRING.
QUESTIONS THAT HAVE ARISEN AFTER
NEWS THAT DOCTOR KOHUT, NOW
FACING CHARGES FOR MULTIPLE
CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN, HAD
BEEN PREVIOUSLY DISCIPLINED
THREE TIMES.
DATING BACK TO 2002.
THE CALIFORNIA MEDICAL BOARD
SAID ONCE KOHUT'S PROBATION
ENDED, IT WAS UP TO THE HOSPITAL
TO DETERMINE WHETHER CONTINUE TO
ALLOW HIM TO USE THEIR SURGERY
FACILITIES.
WE ASKED DOMINICAN HOSPITAL
SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THEIR SAFETY
PRACTICES.
A SPOKESPERSON SAID PHYSICIANS
ARE NOT HIRED BY THE HOSPITAL
AND WITH REGARD TO HIRING
PRACTICES OF NURSES THEY CANNOT
COMMENT ON PERSONNEL MATTERS.
WE RECEIVED A SIMILAR RESPONSE
FROM PALO ALTO MEDICAL
FOUNDATION, "WE CAN'T DO
ANYTHING MORE RIGHT NOW THAN THE
STATEMENT THAT THIS IS AN
ONGOING INVESTIGATION, AND WE
HAVE TO LET THINGS PLAY OUT."
SINCE WE BROKE THIS DISTURBING
STORY, MANY PEOPLE HAVE VOICED
CONCERNS ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND
COMMENTED ON KOHUT'S PAST
BEHAVIOR TOWARD OTHER PEOPLE
WORKING AT THE HOSPITAL
>> I KNOW THAT THERE WERE
MULTIPLE TIMES HE WAS REPORTED
TO ADMINISTRATION, BUT IT WAS
ALWAYS KIND OF JUST A SLAP ON
THE HAND, THEN BUSINESS AS USUAL
WITH HIM.
SO MY ISSUE WITH DIGNITY HEALTH
IS THAT THEY NOT ONLY KNEW ABOUT
HIS HISTORY WHEN THEY ENCOURAGED
HIM TO COME TO OUR FACILITY, BUT
WITH THE WAY HE ACTED.
>> WE ALSO ASKED PEOPLE ON THE
STREET WHETHER THEY FELT SAFE AT
THEIR LOCAL HOSPITALS.
>> I'M CONFIDENT THAT THEY'RE
TAKING CARE OF US.
I THINK IT WAS MAYBE A FLUKE
THING THAT HAPPENED .
I DON'T WANT TO JUDGE THEM BY
JUST THAT ONE INCIDENT
>> AS WE TOLD YOU YESTERDAY,
DOCTOR KOHUT WAS HIRED AS A
NEUROSURGEON AT A HOSPITAL IN
ARKANSAS.
WE HAVE BEEN WORKING OUR HEARST
AFFILIATE IN FORT SMITH, AND
THEY SAY THE STATE MEDICAL BOARD
THERE, WERE AWARE THAT DOCTOR
KOHUT HAD BEEN ON PROBATION.
BUT AFTER INTERVIEWING THE
DOCTOR, THEY DID ISSUE HIM A
MEDICAL LICENSE IN FEBRUAR
BUT THE HOSPITAL SAYS HE NO
LONGER WORKS THERE AND NEVER SAW
PATIENTS
DA
DAN: THANK YOU, PHIL.
GAIN, DOCTOR KOHUT IS SCHEDULED
FOR ARRAIGNMENT TOMORROW MORNING
ON THREE CHARGES OF CRIMES
AGAINST CHILDREN.
BRANDON ISN'T SCHEDULED BACK IN
COURT UNTIL MAY 26TH.
ERIN: ALSO ON THE CRIME
WATCH TONIGHT,
TWO YOUNG MEN CHARGED IN ANOTHER
CHILD SEX CRIME CASE OUT OF
SANTA CRUZ COUNTY WERE ARRAIGNED
IN FEDERAL COURT IN SAN
FRANCISCO TODA
19-YEAR-OLD RYAN SPENCER AND
24-YEAR-OLD BRYAN PETERSEN
PLEADED NOT GUILTY TO THE FOUR
FELONY CHILD PORNOGRAPHY CHARGES
AGAINST THEM.
BOTH WILL RETURN TO COURT ON MAY
