A federal judge has given a 20-year sentence to a gynecologist who sexually abused dozens of patients for over two decades at prestigious New York hospitals.
dozens of vulnerable and trusting patients for over two decades at prestigious New York hospitals cried before he was sentenced Tuesday to 20 years in prison by a federal judge who called his crimes shocking and unprecedented.how the doctor abused them during gynecology treatments from the late 1980s until 2012 at prominent hospitals, including Columbia University Irving Medical Center and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital.
In statements over the last two days, U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman said the case was like none he’d seen before and involved "outrageous, horrific, beyond extraordinary, depraved sexual abuse." He noted that the government has reported that at least 245 women among thousands he treated have claimed they were abused by Hadden.
"Robert Hadden is a sexual predator disguised in a white coat," one woman, who spoke under the pseudonym Emily Anderson, told Berman last month. Hadden's lawyer, Deirdre von Dornum, asked the judge Tuesday to credit her client for his efforts to reform himself and his devotion to his family.
