Hadden tried unsuccessfully to dismiss the indictment, arguing the federal government delayed bringing charges against him for conduct dating from 1997-2012. Hadden said it violated the Due Process Clause because it "severely prejudiced" his ability to defend himself.
"Thank you to the US Attorney's Office of the Southern District of New York for bringing these charges against Dr. Hadden. They are long overdue. This physician abused dozens of women, including minors, under the guise of practicing medicine and should not be walking free," Evelyn Yang said in a statement when the federal charges were announced.
According to the criminal charges, Hadden developed a relationship with his victims before engaging in a course of increasingly abusive conduct, which he tried to mask under the guise of legitimate medical care.
