Dr. Eithan Haim, a surgeon in Texas, faced charges for allegedly obtaining and sharing private medical information about gender-transition-related treatments for minors at Texas Children's Hospital.
The indictment, filed in May 2023, accused Dr. Haim of obtaining personal medical information from the hospital's online system under false pretenses. He claimed to need the information for "adult care services" despite having left the hospital two years prior.
Dr. Haim allegedly shared this information with conservative activist Christopher Rufo, who subsequently published an article claiming the hospital continued providing transgender care to minors despite announcing its termination.
Dr. Haim, while acknowledging the disclosure, pleaded not guilty, maintaining his belief that his actions were justified. He claimed to have redacted patient information to protect their identities and considered himself a whistleblower.
