A fifth civil lawsuit has been filed against a Longview doctor who was accused this past year of sexually assaulting boys during counseling sessions.

Matt Elza Hipke, 59, was charged in August 2020 with two counts of continuous sexual abuse of a child younger than 14. He was released from the Gregg County Jail on bonds totaling $1 million.

Hipke and his practice, Adolescent Care Team, which has since closed, now face five civil lawsuits on behalf of nearly a dozen children.
