A federal lawsuit alleges that a prominent Wilkes County surgeon tried to blackmail a nurse practitioner into having sex with him for one hour, twice a month. If she didnât comply, he threatened to reveal secretly recorded conversations to her husband and other members of her family.
The doctor worked at Wilkes Medical Center, which is managed by Wake Forest Baptist Health. Dr. Jon Wesley Thompson, according to the lawsuit, was at one point the only general surgeon in Wilkes County and had been regional medical director with Wake Forest Baptist Health. He was fired after the nurse filed a sexual harassment complaint.
