300+ More Sex Abuse Survivors Sue Columbia U. & Jailed OB-<span class="caps">GYN</span> Robert Hadden

We speak to the attorney suing Columbia University and its affiliated hospitals on behalf of some 300 more patients who say they were sexually assaulted by former Columbia University obstetrician Robert Hadden over two decades while Columbia shielded the sexual predator. Anthony T. DiPietro filed a new lawsuit against the university and its affiliated hospitals earlier this week. “Columbia knew from the beginning,” DiPietro says of Hadden’s abuse and its subsequent cover-up. Survivors, he continues, “shouldn’t be having to carry this burden around with them for their entire lives.”

Stonker of a story. Doctor assaulting patients, hundreds of them, for years, while tons of people knew or had been told that he was dodgy.

"Columbia University — where Robert Hadden spent his entire medical career — has never fully accounted for its role in allowing a predator to operate unchecked for decades."

For decades, more than 245 patients warned #Columbia about the behavior of #obstetrician #RobertHadden. One even called #911 and had him arrested. Columbia let him keep working.
