This applies to you no matter what

It was the 1990s. The suit filed this summer covers his whole run at the practice, thirty years of it.
You thought it was normal, because who would know. Two of the women who went to the Board said the same. One was told, sometimes things change as we get older.
You never told anyone, or you told a friend and left it there. Most of the 31 did exactly that.
He sent the nurse out, then did the exam a second time. Sound familiar? One woman told the state exactly that about a visit in January 2023, and her account is what the case against him is built on.
You live in Pennsylvania now, or anywhere else. Lawrenceville is ten minutes from the river; half his patients crossed it.
You're a daughter, a husband, a friend asking for someone who can't. Reach out anyway.

Dr. Bruce Pierce: what the public record says, and when

None of what follows is ours. It is the New Jersey Attorney General, the State Board of Medical Examiners, a filed complaint and the reporters who covered them, and every line links to its source. Pierce has not been charged with a crime, and the suspension is temporary pending a full hearing. The word for everything below is allegation.

January and December 2023

Two patients, months apart, later told the Board the same kind of story: a normal exam, the chaperone gone, then a second exam that was not normal at all. Patch.

November 13, 2024

After a hearing, the State Board of Medical Examiners voted unanimously to suspend Pierce's license on a temporary basis, the state's lawyers arguing that letting him keep seeing patients would be a clear and imminent danger. The Attorney General's office described the conduct as predatory sexual misconduct during patient exams. NJ Attorney General.

Thirty-one women sued Pierce and Delaware Valley OBGYN and Infertility Group in Superior Court, Mercer County. The complaint describes medically unnecessary and often painful examinations across three decades, and one plaintiff says he rubbed his genitals against her arm during an exam.

Who answers for what Dr. Pierce is accused of

Right now, Pierce and his practice, Delaware Valley OBGYN and Infertility Group, which is the entity the 31 women have sued. That is a real defendant with real insurance, though insurance for intentional misconduct is its own fight. The question every lawyer in this case is asking is whether a hospital belongs on that list too. He delivered babies somewhere. He had privileges somewhere. A hospital that credentialed him for thirty years, and heard anything at all, is a defendant of a different size.

That is what we mean by watching. The day a hospital is named, this page changes, and so does what a claim is worth. If your contact with him was at a hospital, say so in the questions above. That detail matters more here than on most pages.

Your deadline: the New Jersey statute of limitations for sexual abuse claims

New Jersey rewrote this in 2019, and for once the rewrite favors the patient. An adult gets seven years, and the seven years don't start on the day of the exam; they start when she reasonably worked out that the abuse caused her harm. The statute is N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2a, if you want it. And if you were a minor back then, you have until you turn 55, or seven years from that same discovery, whichever is later.

Two catches. The seven years is measured from when you connected what happened to the harm, and that is a fact question a lawyer will walk through with you, not a date you can read off a calendar. And New Jersey does not allow class actions for these claims, so nobody can file on your behalf without you.

Plainly, then. For most of his patients the door is open. For a woman whose exam was in 1995, and who knew it for what it was in 1995, maybe not, and there is no way to know which you are without asking.

Your situation still qualifies even if

You never told a soul. Not a spouse, not a sister, nobody.
You aren't sure whether what happened was an exam or something else. That is the whole design of what he is accused of.
He delivered your children. Plenty of the women suing say the same.
You went back to the practice after he was gone. Different doctor, same office.
You live outside New Jersey now.

Questions people are asking

Who is Dr. Bruce Pierce?

For thirty years, the OB-GYN at Delaware Valley OB/GYN in Lawrenceville, from the 1990s until November 2024. That month the State Board of Medical Examiners suspended his license, after two patients described what went on in his exam room. By July 2026, thirty-one women had sued him and the practice.

Has Dr. Pierce been arrested?

Not as of this writing. The Board action is a licensing matter and the lawsuit is civil. We update this page within three days of anything new.

Can I join the lawsuit against Dr. Pierce?

You would bring your own claim; New Jersey does not allow class actions for sexual abuse. The 31 plaintiffs filed together with one firm, and more can file the same way. Nothing about their case closes the door on yours.

What kind of lawyer do I need?

A civil lawyer who handles institutional sexual abuse, meaning cases against the practice or a hospital, not only the doctor. That is the only kind we work with, and the firm we work with handles New Jersey cases wherever you live now.

How much does a sexual abuse lawyer cost?

Here, nothing. Every case is on contingency. The lawyer is paid only out of what is recovered, and if nothing is recovered you owe nothing. Not for the call, not for the review, not for the case.

Kerim Eravci · Survivor Advocate · Not a lawyer

I was a victim, and I waited. Not because I didn't know what happened to me (I knew every day), but because I'd decided it was over, mine to carry, nobody's business. When I finally went looking for a lawyer, the answer came back in two words I'd never thought about: statute of limitations. My time had run out while I was busy getting through it.

What that has cost me since is a long story, and I'll tell you the whole thing in private, if you want it. The short version is the reason my name is on this page: I'm here to help people do what I wish I'd done, which is find out where you stand while the door's still open.

I'm not a lawyer. I read what you send, I call you once, on your terms, and nothing gets filed unless you say so. Ask sooner than I did.
