A former gynecologist accused by the wife of former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang and others of sexual assault has been convicted of federal sexual abuse charges, prosecutors say.
Robert Hadden, 64, was convicted of four counts of enticing and inducing individuals to travel interstate to engage in illegal sexual activity, each of which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York said in a release. The allegations against Hadden first became widely publicized after an exclusive interview by CNN’s Dana Bash with Evelyn Yang and a series of reports by CNN’s investigative unit.
” Federal Judge Richard Berman denied prosecutors’ request to keep Hadden in custody pending his sentencing, which is scheduled for April 25. Berman also declined to keep Hadden in custody until his bail hearing, scheduled for February 1 at noon. Several of Hadden’s victims gave emotional statements about his abuse at a remand hearing held immediately following his conviction Tuesday, and asked Berman to remand Hadden into custody immediately.
