Ted Koppel interviewed many staff, including Dr. Anthony DiDomenico, the chief medical officer of VSPW, in October 1999 for series of episodes of "Nightline". In the expose, the physician was quoted as saying "I've heard a particular female parolee, at CDCR-approved conference inmates tell me that they would deliberately like to be examined receive a pelvic examination . It's the only male contact they get." After the airing of the "Nightline" episode, only DiDomenico was reassigned "to a desk job in Sacramento" for his description.
