A former gynecologist has been convicted of a long-running and horrifying spree of gynecologist abuse that targeted dozens of patients over a period of more than two decades at prestigious New York hospitals.
Former Gynecologist Convicted of Heinous Gynecologist Abuse Faces 20-Year Sentence
Robert Hadden, now 64 years old, is on the brink of facing a 20-year prison sentence for his utterly heinous actions of gynecologist abuse. This sentence, four times longer than the federal guidelines recommend, follows a landmark ruling by Judge Richard M. Berman, who was visibly shaken by the severity of the crimes, describing them as “outrageous, horrific, beyond extraordinary, and depraved sexual gynecologist abuse.” The conviction against Robert Hadden came to light in January when it was discovered that he had lured victims across state lines to partake in these unspeakable acts. The shocking revelations of gynecologist abuse unfolded during his time at esteemed medical institutions, such as Columbia University Irving Medical Center and New York-Presbyterian Hospital. What’s truly distressing is that the government reported over 245 women, among thousands of patients he treated, bravely coming forward with claims of being subjected to this ghastly gynecologist abuse.

The victims’ bravery on speaking up against the gynecologist abuse incident was evident during the emotionally charged sentencing hearing, where nine of them courageously recounted their harrowing experiences, urging the judge to hand down the maximum prison term possible for the gynecologist abuse crime. They spoke of forced sexualized breast exams and invasive vaginal touching, all under the guise of medical procedures. Defense attorney Deirdre von Dornum objected, citing that her client had already lost everything and was enduring harsh conditions in jail. Despite the plea, Judge Berman’s decision to impose the 20-year sentence highlights the gravity of Robert Hadden’s gynecologist abuse actions and sends a powerful message against any future instances of abuse within the medical community.
