Those lawsuits followed a similar Complaint at Law HMM filed in January 2020 that accused Cannon of sexual assault and DuPage of negligence


Though Cannon has been the subject of numerous misconduct reports by patients to DuPage Medical Group, the plaintiffs allege that DuPage did nothing over a prolonged period of time to investigate the reports or discipline him. In fact, after two of the reports, Cannon was disciplined, not for his actions, but for not generating enough revenue for the practice group.
