In the Dr. Robert Hadden trial, the former Columbia University OBGYN was convicted of all four counts following his Manhattan federal court trial.
There was more gut-wrenching testimony Tuesday at the federal trial of former Columbia University OBGYN Robert Hadden. CeFaan Kim has the story.A gynecologist who molested patients during a decades long career was convicted of federal sex trafficking charges Tuesday after nine former patients told a New York jury how the doctor they once trusted attacked them sexually when they were most vulnerable.
Prosecutors said federal charges were appropriate because Hadden, of Englewood, New Jersey, enticed women to cross state lines so he could attack them. "For years, he cruelly lured women who sought professional medical care to his offices in order to gratify himself. Hadden's victims trusted him as a physician, only to instead become victims of his heinous predilection," he said.
"He donned his white coat and took the oath all doctors do to 'do no harm' and then he did the exact opposite," Assistant U.S. Attorney Jane Kim told the jury. She argued that the federal charges were inappropriate because they required that Hadden entice his victims to cross state lines when he was unaware in advance of which patients he would treat each day and where they were coming from.
