NY Gynecologist Accused of Sexual Assault by Andrew Yang’s Wife, Dozens of Others, Has Been Arrested
NEW YORK — Robert Hadden was arrested this morning and charged with enticing and inducing six victims to travel interstate to engage in illegal sexual activity.The indictment unsealed todayalleges that from at least in or about 1993, up to and including at least in or about 2012,Hadden enticed and induced dozens of victims, including minors, to travel to his medical offices in New York, New York, at least in part for the purpose of subjecting them to unlawful sexual abuse.
Acting U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss said: “As alleged, between 1993 and 2012, Robert Hadden sexually abused dozens of women and girls during Ob/Gyn examinations at his medical offices in Manhattan. Hadden allegedly used the examinations of his victims for his own sexual gratification, abusing dozens of victims over a nearly 20-year period, including multiple minor girls, one of whom Hadden had himself delivered. The allegations show that Hadden acted as a predator in a white coat. He allegedly used the cover of conducting medical examinations to engage in sexual abuse that he passed off as normal and medically necessary, when it was neither normal nor necessary – it was criminal. I want to thank and commend the brave women who were willing to come forward to tell us what happened to them, without whom these charges could not have been brought.”
FBI Assistant Director William F. Sweeney Jr. said: “The abusive behavior alleged here took place over the course of nearly two decades, which means there could be many victims out there we have not heard from. We are asking anyone seeing this information to reach out to us. We want you to know FBI special agents, NYPD detectives, analysts, victim specialists, and prosecutors investigating this case are here for each and every one of you, and we are your advocates. It is important to remember nothing Dr. Hadden has done was, or ever will be, your fault. We see time and time again that voices matter, and those who have stepped forward have empowered others to do the same. If you have been victimized by Robert Hadden in any way, or have any additional information about his alleged illegal behavior, please call us at 1-800-CALL-FBI, or reach out to us at www.tips.fbi.gov.”
According to the Indictment unsealed today in Manhattan federal court:
Over more than a decade, Hadden sexually abused dozens of female patients, including multiple minors, under the guise of conducting purported gynecological and obstetric examinations at his medical offices and at hospitals in New York, New York.
