A former gynecologist was sentenced to 20 years in prison for the 'depraved' sexual abuse of dozens of patients for over two decades at prestigious New York hospitals, according to prosecutors
The guidelines are calculated for each case to ensure that people convicted of specific crimes generally are treated equally, and judges can go below or above guidelines but must explain why.
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. "Under the guise of medical treatment, Robert Hadden sexually abused and assaulted numerous patients for approximately 25 years, exploiting them in vulnerable moments for his own sexual gratification," Williams said in a statement."We thank and commend the victims who bravely came forward to share their stories and ensure that their abuser faces justice.”
Nine victims spoke at the first stage of the sentencing hearing late last month. Several attended the proceeding on Monday but were not invited to speak again.
