A Utah judge ruled that sexual assaults alleged by more than 100 women against an OB-GYN falls under medical malpractice claims and dismissed their complaint in a civil suit they had filed against the doctor.

Fourth District Court Judge Robert Lunnen made the ruling in October, but the Utah Supreme Court, in a rare decision, recently agreed to retain the case and hear it on appeal.
