He is nicknamed the "Tik Tok Doc" for his videos posted on the favorite social network of teenagers.
Jason Campbell, 31, an anesthesiologist, was working at the University Hospital of Health and Science in Portland, Oregon, when he rose to fame with his choreographies, such as the "corona foot shake" or the "slipped cha cha. ".
The cheerful and playful image of the doctor began this Sunday with the revelation of The Oregonian, a local newspaper of a civil sexual harassment complaint against this social media star.
A very well documented article.
Jason Campbell is said to have slipped behind a social worker one day and stuck his erection on her back, according to the lawsuit filed in federal court in Portland.
The plaintiff, who is seeking a total of $ 45 million in damages, claims that on March 12, 2020, Campbell broke into her office and touched her without her consent.
“The complainant was terrified and yelled at Dr. Campbell to leave,” details the complaint.
“The complainant then sent a written message, 'Never surprise me by entering my physical space.
The lawsuit also says Campbell then awkwardly apologized for his behavior in a text message saying, "I should have asked.
I'm sorry, ”according to the complaint and a screenshot of the SMS exchange.
But the complaint also notes more than 160 pages of various messages characterizing the reality of harassment.
The Tik Tok Doc has switched its social media accounts to private
An Oregon Health & Science University investigation launched last year found Campbell violated the group's harassment policy and code of conduct by sending inappropriate messages, including a photo of his erection through his pants.
Campbell's sexual harassment reportedly continued despite repeated admonitions from the woman, who made her understand that he was not of interest to her beyond her friendship and that her inappropriate comments and behavior were unwelcome, according to this investigation.
It is not known what disciplinary action was taken at the time, but Campbell is no longer working for this hospital group.
He now lives and works in Florida.
Jason Campbell, 32, and his lawyer Kristin L. Olson did not respond to requests from the local daily.
However, he switched all of his social media accounts to private.
The harassment file was forwarded to the Oregon prosecutor who, however, did not conduct a criminal investigation in this case.
