Neither Caldwell nor the patient were notified of the subpoena.
Records obtained by CBS News, and cited in the lawsuit, show Bernard submitted the required termination of pregnancy report on July 2, two days after she performed the abortion on the 10-year-old. Communications that accompanied the report included information showing that Bernard was cooperating with authorities investigating the rape of the girl, according to the court filing.with the rape in mid-July, and police said he confessed to the crime.
