(07:45) Santa Cruz – Dr. James Kohut, who is an accused child molester, has been sued for the second time this year for malpractice at Dominican Hospital. The latest malpractice lawsuit was filed by family members of one of Kohut’s patients’, who died in February of 2017. The lawsuit accuses Kohut of failing to operate on Adam Tovar’s brain in time to save his life and questions whether Kohut’s alleged crimes affected the brain surgeon’s performance at work. A case-management conference is scheduled for the suit at 8:30 a.m. on May 21, in Superior Court.
