Now 66-year-old Hayden was accused of tampering with patients during a decades long career in the prestigious New York City hospitals including Columbia University Iving Medical Center and New York-PressBitorian. He was convicted by a jury on charges of federal sexual offense in 2023 and sentenced to 20 years in the federal jail.

Lawyers of the school and New York-PressBiterian did not respond to the emails seeking immediate comments. The university is implementing a multi-dimensional plan, including an external inquiry to address Robert Hayden’s misconduct, an external investigation, settling a survivors, and a range of new and updated patient safety policies and programs, to implement a multi-dimensional scheme. , “We regret the pain deeply that his patients were, and this colony is another step ahead in our ongoing work and commitment to the loss and support of the remaining people,” said this. “We appreciate the survivors for their bravery in coming forward.” The New York-PressBiterian questioned the disposal of Colombia, saying that the school appointed Hayden. Laurie Maldonadado, one of the plaintiffs, who filed a case against Columbia, New York-PressBiterian, Hayden and others, said that their case was not about money. “It’s about accountability,” he said in a statement provided by Dipietro. “The University of Columbia enables tragic misconduct, and now, they have been forced to face the truth. We hope that it sends a clear message to every institution: the remaining people will not be silenced, and those who protect the misbehavior will be held responsible.” Associated press usually does not name the victims of the sexual attack until they come forward publicly, such as Maldonado near. Hayden’s accused included Evalin Yang, the wife of the former presidential candidate and the Mayor of New York, who said that Hayden said that Hayden abused her when he was pregnant with his first child. During Hayden’s criminal trial, nine victims testified about how Hayden started her during the treatment of gynecology, in the late 1980s, in major hospitals. The allegations of misconduct were first reported in 2012 during the examinations. Hayden was charged in the state allegations in 2014 as women came forward. But in 2016, at that time the office of Manhattan District Attorney, Cyrus Vance Junior, allowed Hayden to blame for two low-level hooliganism and a misconduct, in which he needed to give up his medical license, but did not need the time of jail and kept him out of the state’s sexual criminal registration. Some women going to state prosecutors were angry, but their stories did not start to attract public attention until the #MeToo movement started getting steam in 2017. Federal prosecutors in Manhattan received a grand jury prosecution against Hayden in 2020, based on the allegations that some patients in their New York offices had come to the city from other states. In November 2023, Columbia and Columbia University Irving Medical Center announced that they would inform 6,500 former patients of Hayden of the convicts of their federal sexual offenses and would give the victims an opportunity to apply for compensation from the settlement fund of $ 100 million. The time limit for applying has been extended by 15 May.
