Robert A. Hadden
Robert Hadden, a former prominent OB-GYN at Columbia University and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, sexually abused hundreds of patients from the late 1980s until 2012. After a controversial 2016 state plea deal that allowed him to avoid jail time, he was federally convicted in January 2023 for enticing patients across state lines for abuse and subsequently sentenced to 20 years in prison in July 2023. Columbia University has paid over $1 billion in settlements to his victims, and as of March 2026, the institution is under investigation by the New York Attorney General for its handling of the allegations, while also releasing its own external investigation report.
