Rape Reported at AICA Orthopedics Duluth Address before I Was Assaulted Weeks Later

On January 7, 2025, a rape involving a minor was reported at 3775 Venture Drive in Duluth, Georgia — the same address where I was sexually assaulted at AICA Orthopedics just one month later. I didn’t find out until after I was violated.
And that’s not speculation. That’s from a public police incident log. And no one warned me.
Silence Where There Should Have Been Warning
I didn’t learn about the January 7th rape report at AICA's address from the clinic. I found out after I was assaulted, while digging for answers AICA never gave me.
I filed an Open Records request. Gwinnett County confirmed the report. The details are sealed due to juvenile protections — but the incident code is clear:
RAPE.
Same address.
One month apart.
And the silence? Deafening.
AICA Orthopedics Duluth Said Nothing
To this day, AICA Orthopedics has made no public acknowledgement that a rape was reported at their address just one month before my assault.
They never warned me.
And while I cannot speak to whether they conducted an internal investigation, issued staff alerts, or updated internal safety protocols as of yet — there was no indication to patients that any danger had occurred at all.
They continued:
Accepting new patients
Scheduling appointments without warning
Operating in full capacity
And billing victims like me for “treatment”
I became the next victim...
On February 20, 2025, I was sexually assaulted by Dr. Alexander Steele inside an AICA treatment room — the same address where a rape involving a minor had been reported weeks earlier.
They said nothing to me about that rape report.
They took no known steps to protect me from foreseeable harm. They didn't even fire the man who assaulted me. I don't believe they reported him to the medical board. Instead, they issued a $6,515 lien against my settlement for services tied to my sexual assault.
This Isn’t Just Negligence. It’s Institutional Failure.
Under Georgia law:
When a violent crime is reported at a commercial address, tenants are placed on constructive notice
That means they are legally obligated to act in a way that protects future patrons from foreseeable harm
Failing to act may constitute gross negligence, premises liability, and in some cases, willful misconduct
If AICA Orthopedics had taken action, or even informed me, I would be safe. I would have avoided this clinic altogether. But I was kept in the dark. And silence, when safety is at stake, becomes part of the harm.
One Rape Report Wasn’t Enough for Them to Act.
Now The Second Assault Is Taking Them to Court.
What happened to me was not isolated. It came after a prior warning the institution chose not to act on — or at least not to disclose.

Because when a rape involving a minor is reported at a medical facility’s address, and another patient is assaulted weeks later, the question becomes:
How many more patients have to be sacrificed before they act?
