SUMMARY: A lawsuit against former pediatrician Craig Spiegel, initiated by attorney Ben Crump and local attorney Kayla Onder, focuses on allegations of trading drugs for sexual favors from patients. At a news conference, a former patient, Mallory, emphasized that abuses should be held accountable, claiming Spiegel exploited women and children under the pretense of medical treatment.
