New allegations of sexual assault at Oaks Psychiatric Hospital

Former patients at the Oaks Psychiatric Hospital in South Austin in Texas are now filling lawsuits against the facility for troubled teens. Two former employees were accused of sexual assault last year, and now allegations of sexual assault at the Oaks Psychiatric Hospital are pending.

"This was obviously a horrible tragic event for these girls and this appears not to have been an isolated event," victim's attorney John Thomas said. Attorney John Thomas says three girls were assaulted in March of 2002 by then 19-year-old Edward Johnson, an employee in charge of the girls showers and dorms.
