NEW YORK — The trial began Monday for the former Columbia University gynecologist accused of sexually abusing patients, including a minor, two pregnant patients and Evelyn Yang, wife of former presidential candidate Andrew Yang.

Dr. Robert Hadden, 64,"abused his position of power to assault patient after patient, year after year," a federal prosecutor said Monday during opening statements.

"They trusted him," Monteleone said."All along, the defendant was motivated not by his patients' medical needs but by his own sexual desires." Hadden pleaded guilty in state court seven years ago to abusing two women as part of a deal with the Manhattan District Attorney's Office.
