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.
"Oh, it wasn’t an apology," said Marissa Hoechstetter, one of Hadden's accusers. "He didn’t turn and face us." Testimony at a January trial by four women who said they crossed state lines to be treated by Hadden, and an additional five women who described abuse by him, was "shocking in the extreme," the judge said. Hadden was convicted of four counts of enticing victims to cross state lines so he could sexually abuse them.
According to trial testimony, Hadden benefited from the prestige of the hospitals where he worked as he groomed his patients in a private office decorated with pictures of his children as he conversed with them about their personal lives. A day earlier when the judge announced that he planned to impose a 20-year sentence, she had complained that Berman quadrupled the roughly five-year term suggested by federal sentencing guidelines.
