Latest Dr. Victor Perry Sexual Assault Lawsuit Updates

The California Attorney General’s Office filed the complaint in February 2025, per the Fresno Bee. The complaint asked the Board to revoke the license of Dr. Perry, who practices as a neurosurgeon [4].
April 8, 2024: Police Find Dr. Perry in Kerman
On April 8, 2024, Fresno police used cell phone coordinates to find Dr. Perry in Kerman. Officers came to South 2nd Street with a search warrant. They collected his DNA [5].

September 21, 2021: Patient’s Follow-Up Visit
On September 21, 2021, a patient visited a north Fresno office to see Dr. Perry for a follow-up appointment after neck surgery, according to the Board’s records.
What Is Physician Sexual Misconduct?
Physician sexual misconduct is sexual contact with a patient that breaks the trust between doctor and patient. The Fresno Bee reports that a doctor found to have committed it cannot regain a lost license in California.
According to the California Medical Association, Assembly Bill 1636, signed September 22, 2022, removes the Board’s discretion to reinstate a doctor who lost a license for sexual misconduct [6].
Who May Be Affected?
Patients who saw Dr. Perry may be affected. One example is a patient seen for a follow-up after neck surgery who reported sciatic nerve pain. The Board found her exam to be sexual misconduct.
Other patients who saw Dr. Perry would have their own dates and facts. Whether anyone has a claim depends on an individual legal review of the facts in each case.
Reported Injuries or Damages
The Board’s records, as the Fresno Bee reported them, describe an exam in which Dr. Perry pushed on the patient’s groin, removed her menstrual pad and touched her with ungloved fingers.
He said, “It’s OK. You’re OK. I’m just adjusting.” The patient ended the exam and handed the receptionist a note. The Board found the accusations true, so its decision is a finding and not only an allegation.
A DNA test of the patient’s pad was positive for the male Y chromosome but inconclusive as to whose, for lack of an adequate sample.
Evidence to Preserve
Keep any records that show your contact with Dr. Perry or his office, including:
- Medical records, with the notes from each visit and the dates you were seen
- Appointment confirmations and billing statements
- Notes, texts, emails or voicemails exchanged with the office or the doctor
- Names of any staff who were present during your visit
- A written timeline made soon after the visit
- Police or Medical Board complaint numbers and any letters about them
Store copies in a safe place and do not delete or change anything. Write down dates and details while you still remember them clearly.
Filing Deadlines
Filing deadlines come from state law. They vary with where you live and when the abuse and any later discovery of harm happened.
Missing a deadline can end a claim. Speak with a lawyer promptly so that your own dates can be checked against the rules that apply to you.
