A lawsuit filed in Circuit Court alleges Dr. Nelson Hendler raped a female patient while she was under sedation. The woman is identified in the lawsuit as Jane Doe II. She is seeking $50,000 in damages.

Hendler's lawyer said he was unaware of the lawsuit.

Hendler was the founder of the Mensana Clinic in Stevenson. He is scheduled to go on trial in February on seven charges of possessing a controlled dangerous substance with the intent to distribute.

His license was suspended after the Maryland Board of Physicians accused him of sexual improprieties with three patients and handing out painkillers without proper prescriptions
