Newly suspicious of the pen hanging on a lanyard Johns Hopkins gynecologist Dr. Nikita A. Levy wore around his neck, a clinical technician who had worked with him for two years took it one day early last year.

What she saw when she got home and plugged the device into her computer set off an investigation that shook thousands of women across the region and led the world-renowned hospital to pay $190 million to settle a class-action lawsuit.

After she notified Hopkins officials, who viewed the files and confronted Levy, they did not contact city police for a few days.

These new details of how Levy was discovered are contained in investigative documents related to the case, obtained Friday by The Baltimore Sun under a Maryland Public Information Act request. The documents from lead detective Amy Strand's file also show that police believe 310 to 360 patients — including 60 prepubescent girls — were filmed, though lawyers say thousands of patients were victimized by the revelations.

The Hopkins technician, whose name was withheld, suspected that the pen contained a tiny camera and was being used to take inappropriate images of female patients. When he stood up while performing pelvic exams on patients, he often pulled the pen attached to the lanyard down, as if directing it.

He killed himself so he escaped punishment. Hope the victims get a big piece of that settlement.
