A woman who claimed last month that an emergency room doctor at Mount Sinai Hospital sexually assaulted her has filed a lawsuit stating there is DNA evidence to prove the assault.

The lawsuit, filed in State Supreme Court in Manhattan, seeks monetary damages from the hospital, as well as Mount Sinai Medical Center and Dr. David H. Newman, whom the woman alleges assaulted her while treating her in the emergency room on Jan. 12.

As of Monday, Dr. Newman had not been indicted in a criminal case. The allegations have been under investigation by the Manhattan district attorney’s office.

Dr. Newman’s lawyer, Susan R. Necheles, said on Monday that she was unaware of DNA evidence that would confirm the assault. She said she had no comment regarding Dr. Newman’s guilt or innocence.
