The case came to light after Shantal Verdelho denounced the doctor
The Regional Council of Medicine of São Paulo (Cremesp) has decided to file a lawsuit against the obstetrician Renato Kalil for sexual abuse, reports Mônica Bergamo’s column in the newspaper Folha de São Paulo this Thursday, 2.
According to the investigation, the council was unable to locate the medical records and hospitalization records of the victim, who claimed she was abused in 1991.
Furthermore, the council’s investigation found that Kalil was no longer working at the place where the victim claims to have been abused, in the Santa Casa de Misericórdia de São Paulo, at the time she reports that the facts occurred.
With this, Cremesp has opted for the deposit of the share.
The 1990s sexual abuse allegation against Kalil came to light after influencer Shantal Verdelho broke her silence and denounced the midwife for assaulting her during childbirth.
In December 2021, Shantal reported the case to the program Fantastic and showed a video recorded by Shantal’s husband, Mateus Verdelho, which showed the doctor screaming and cursing at the time of delivery. In one of the messages he says that Shantal was “rolled up” because he didn’t want to have an episiotomy – a procedure in which a woman’s perineum is cut.
Kalil, one of the most successful gynecologists in São Paulo, denied the allegations and said that Shantal’s delivery went without “a few complications” and that the video was edited, with sentences taken out of context.
Since the complaint, more former patients and former employees have emerged with new complaints of professional misconduct, moral harassment and sexual harassment. British journalist Samantha Pearson, newspaper correspondent The Wall Street Journal in Brazil, he told the paper The globe having experienced traumatic episodes of bullying in Kalil’s office. According to her, after giving birth to her first child, she overheard the doctor tell her husband not to worry because he had “made a point there,” referring to the patient’s vagina.
