It said Hadden invited his victims to meet with him alone in his office, where he frequently raised “inappropriate and irrelevant sexual topics” and asked women questions about their own sexual activities.

The indictment detailed what it described as the abuse of one minor female and five adult women who traveled from out of state to see Hadden. The indictment said Hadden sexually abused dozens of patients, including multiple minors, at his medical offices and Manhattan hospitals from 1993 through at least 2012 while he worked as a medical doctor at Columbia University and at New York Presbyterian Hospital. “His conduct was neither normal nor medically necessary.” “He used the cover of conducting medical examinations to engage in sexual abuse that he passed off as normal and medically necessary,” Strauss said. attorney in Manhattan, said Hadden, had “inappropriately touched, squeezed and even licked his victims” and subjected a young girl he’d delivered as a baby “to the same sort of sexual abuse he inflicted on his adult victims.' He then killed himself in a federal jail.Īudrey Strauss, the acting U.S. Financier Jeffrey Epstein faced federal sex trafficking charges last year after a Florida state prosecution and accompanying federal non-prosecution agreement was criticized as lax. Wednesday’s charges represented the second recent instance when federal prosecutors in Manhattan sought to revive a concluded sex abuse prosecution criticized as lenient. The Associated Press generally withholds the names of sexual abuse victims from stories unless they have decided to tell their stories publicly, which Chambers and Evelyn Yang have done. 'He has injured many, many, many women and he has to be held accountable for that.” “I don’t think he deserves any opportunity to prevent justice in whatever means he could potentially do that,' Jessica Chambers said.

One of the women who says she was abused by Hadden spoke at the hearing, and unsuccessfully urged the judge to hold him pending trial. Isabelle Kirshner, Hadden's attorney, declined comment. He pleaded not guilty at a court hearing Wednesday evening to six counts of inducing others to travel to engage in illegal sex acts and was ordered released on $1 million bail over the objections of a prosecutor who said he should be held as a threat to flee. Hadden was arrested at his home in Englewood, New Jersey, a community 10 miles outside Manhattan. Outrage over that light punishment built as the #MeToo movement gained momentum and more women told their stories publicly, including Evelyn Yang, who earlier this year told CNN that Hadden assaulted her in 2012, including when she was seven months pregnant. that didn't require him to serve any jail time. He surrendered his medical license in a 2016 plea deal with Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. The federal charges will be the second time Hadden is prosecuted over alleged abuse of patients.
