A federal judge says he plans to sentence a former gynecologist who sexually abused dozens of patients for over two decades at prestigious New York hospitals to 20 years in prison.
Robert Hadden, a gynecologist accused of sexually abusing patients, is seen in Manhattan Supreme Court on Feb. 23, 2016, in New York. A federal judge said Monday he plans to sentence a former gynecologist to 20 years in prison for the sexual abuse of dozens of patients for over two decades at prestigious New York hospitals.
A 20-year sentence would be four times the roughly four-to-five-year term that the judge concluded federal sentencing guidelines recommend. Berman said the case was like none he’d seen before and involved "outrageous, horrific, beyond extraordinary, depraved sexual abuse." He noted that the government has reported that at least 245 women among thousands he treated have claimed they were abused by Hadden.
The lawyer said her client was enduring harsh jail conditions at a federal lockup in Brooklyn, where inmates make threats and extort him to turn over his commissary money.
