SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Sept 9 – Columbia
University doctor Robert A.
Hadden has been hit with a
Federal indictment charging
that "sexually abused dozens
of female patients, including
multiple minors, under the
guise of conducting purported
gynecological and obstetric
examinations."
The case is
assigned to U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Richard M. Berman, who handled
the case of Jeffrey Epstein
until he died in the
Metropolitan Correctional
Center.
SDNY Acting
US Attorney Audrey Strauss
held a press conference about
the case on September 9.
Inner City
Press asked her if the
indictment had been returned
by a fully in-person grand
jury, or if it had included a
virtual component of the type
being questioned in the CIA /
Joshua Schulte, Melzer, Balde
and other cases.
US
Attorney Strauss said the
indictment was returned in the
normal course, by a sitting
grand jury. Periscope video here.
She declined to say whether
her office would be seeking
detention pending trial, or
agreeing to a bail package as
they did in the recent case of
indicted UN
rapist Karim Elkorany.
There was no
mention at the press
conference for the charges
against Hadden made publicly
by Evelyn Yang, the wife of
Andrew Yang, and not much
mention of Manhattan DA Cyrus
Vance.
A proceeding
before SDNY Magistrate Judge
Robert Lehrburger (and not the
Magistrate on duty on
September 8, Barbara Moses) is
forthcoming.
