Here is an excerpt from an actual case:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In February and March, 1996, the time at which this action arose, plaintiff was a prisoner/patient and defendant was employed as a nurse at the Huron Valley Medical Center [HVC]. Plaintiff claims that during that time defendant engaged in repeated acts of sexual harrassment. These acts began with instances of defendant grabbing plaintiff's genitals. Subsequently, defendant wrongfully administered Thorazine to plaintiff and sexually assaulted him through an act of fellatio. . . . The court, having heard plaintiff's testimony and reviewing the exhibits submitted by him [I wonder what he exhibited?], finds that his testimony is credible and he has established that the acts complainted of took place. The court further finds that the conduct of the defendant violated rights of plaintiff protected under the Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution [Ah, the framers of the constitution were smart enough to include a "no-blowjob" clause] in that they involved the imposition of force without a legitimate penological basis and constituted deliberate indifference to plaintiff's medical needs. . . . I conclude that plaintiff is entitled to judgment in the amount of Twenty Five Thousand dollars, plus reasonable costs.
