Dr. Robert Hadden (born 1958 in New York, New York) is an American obstetrician and gynecologist. He was once the obstetrician and gynecologist at Columbia University.[1]
Lawyers for seventeen women who sued his employer, Columbia University, in 2018, claimed the earliest reports date back to the early 1990s, and that Columbia had been covering up and enabling his crimes, for decades.[2]
Accusations
In 2016, Hadden was accused by 19 women of sexual abuse.[3] He declared himself guilty as part of a plea that allowed him to avoid jail time.
Hadden was accused, at various times throughout the 2020s, of sexual misconduct with various patients. One case was in 2020, when he was arrested and charged with enticing and inducing six women to travel interstate in order to engage in sexual activities. Another woman, former United States Presidential candidate Andrew Yang's wife Evelyn Yang, also accused him of sexual misconduct, in 2012, after she had received treatment by him.[4][5]
