FILE - Robert Hadden, center, leaves the federal courthouse in New York, Tuesday, Jan. 24, 2023. A federal judge in New York City ruled Wednesday, Feb. 1, that Hadden, an ex-gynecologist convicted of sexually abusing hundreds of patients, was ordered to spend the next two months in jail as he awaits sentencing.
“I’m done, and you’re done,” Berman was quoted by the New York Daily News as saying. Afterward, Hadden’s attorneys filed papers appealing the judge’s detention order.— Columbia University Irving Medical Center and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital — until complaints about his attacks shut down his career a decade ago.after less than a day of deliberations at a two-week trial, in which nine former patients described how he sexually abused them during examinations, when they were most vulnerable.
Hadden's conviction in federal court on four counts of enticing victims to cross state lines so he could sexually abuse them carries a potential penalty of decades in prison. At the time, the judge declined to to send Hadden immediately to jail, but suggested that he was “mystified” that Hadden had avoided prison.
