Former Prominent New York Gynecologist Faces Sentencing As Victims Share Heartbreaking Testimonies

Victims come forward to explain why a New York City gynecologist has been convicted and awaits sentencing.

The former New York City doctor worked at well-known, prominent hospitals from the late 1980s until 2012. During that time, women accused the 64-year-old of secuallly abusing them, and he was convicted. During that time, Hadden worked with hospitals that included New York Presbyterian and Columbia University Irving Medical Center.

Judge Richard M. Burman heard statements from multiple victims who described the pain each had endured due to Hadden's abuse. Many victims chose to speak anonymously, as they described in detail the sexual abuse they experienced while in the care of Hadden.

One of the victims used Emily Anderson as her pseudonym and told Judge Berman, "Robert Hadden is a sexual predator disguised in a white coat." Another victim who worked at Columbia University Irving Medical Center as a research nurse stated she hopes Hadden gets incarcerated for the rest of his life. The victims pled with the judge to keep Hadden in prison for as long as possible.

In January, a judge convicted the former doctor of enticing victims to cross state lines to sexually abuse them. Nine of his former patients testified at his trial about the abuse. Since his conviction, Hadden has remained behind bars for several months.

The state says abusing women began soon after Hadden started working in 1987 at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center in New York, now known as New York Presbyterian Hospital. During the trial, proof showed that Hadden had committed an estimated 167 to 310 acts involving sexual abuse or assault involving dozens of patients.

Prosecutors went on to say Hadden sought sexual gratification by asking victims "detailed, inappropriate, and medically unnecessary questions and provide unsolicited advice and commentary about their bodies, pubic hair, masturbation, sexual activity, sex toys, pornography, and sexual partners."

Laurie Kanyok said in her court statement that it would be 11 years on Thursday since she had called the police after an appointment with Hadden. The investigation resulted in a plea deal with no jail sentence.

Prosecutors are asking that Hadden serve a minimum of 25 years in prison.

Hadden's defense attorneys are requesting a lighter sentence of three years behind bars citing the Hadden's loss of weight, the consistent threats he has received while incarcerated, and that he does not leave his cell except to shower or make phone calls.

The former doctor is scheduled for sentencing on July 24.
