A parent of an 11-year-old girl who was allegedly sexually assaulted at a Lenexa clinic is suing the nonprofit parent company for unsafe practices. The girl, referred to as Jane Doe, had been attending The Lotus Clinic in Lenexa for mental health services since October 2025. On January 14, 2026, a 15-year-old male allegedly sexually assaulted her in a bathroom, according to the lawsuit.

Background

When Jane Doe began attending the clinic, the staff was informed of her prior history of sexual abuse and exploitation by males and performed measures to ensure she would be safe. However, the lawsuit alleges that the clinic failed to provide adequate supervision, despite concerns raised by multiple licensed medical providers and staff.

The alleged assailant had previously displayed dangerous sexual behavior toward other people, and the lawsuit claims that the clinic’s failure to address these concerns led to the plaintiff’s assault. The lawsuit also states that the clinic’s parent company, KidsTLC Inc., had been informed of the need for increased security measures, such as surveillance cameras and assigned staff to monitor the facilities.

Response from KidsTLC

Erin Dugan, president and CEO of KidsTLC, did not return a request for comment from the Johnson County Post but told the Kansas City Star that they received notice of a “potential complaint” but hadn’t been served yet with the suit. The plaintiff is asking for damages in excess of $75,000, for costs, and for any such further relief the court finds fair and reasonable.
