BALTIMORE (CBS) – A former gynecologist hid cameras all over his office to video tape unsuspecting patients,according to a report on WJZ.com. The investigation continues into the former Johns Hopkins doctor who killed himself as a probe into his behavior widened.

Investigators have growing concerns and are checking to see if Dr. Nikita Levy recorded underage patients.  Federal authorities are actively involved in the investigation. Levy was fired this month, accused of secretly taking pictures and video of his patients during examinations.

WJZ reported gynecology fetish porn is all over the internet. Some claim to feature videos by real doctors.

In a statement, Johns Hopkins calls the invasion of privacy intolerable, saying Dr. Levy’s behavior violates their code of conduct and everything Johns Hopkins stands for.

Dr. Levy committed suicide this week at his home in Towson. Patients may never get the answers they want.

Legal experts expect this investigation to lead to numerous civil lawsuits.
