"Hadden allegedly used the examinations of his victims for his own sexual gratification, abusing dozens of victims over a nearly 20-year period, including multiple minor girls, one of whom Hadden had himself delivered. The allegations show that Hadden acted as a predator in a white coat," said Audrey Strauss, the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York at the time the charges were announced.
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.
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.
Oooo… Wow. Columbia University covered for him in state but can’t in federal. Lol
This guy looks exactly how I picture every male gynecologist.
Praying he really has sufficient evidence that merely did his job…. This world just really leaves me perplexed…. guilty innocent
