A former New York gynecologist accused of sexually abusing dozens of patients was charged Wednesday.
NEW YORK — A former New York gynecologist accused of sexually abusing dozens of patients, including the wife of former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang, was charged Wednesday with attacking girls and women for nearly two decades using the cover of medical examinations.
Outrage over that light punishment built as the #MeToo movement gained momentum and more women told their stories publicly, including Evelyn Yang, who earlier this year told CNN that Hadden assaulted her in 2012, including when she was seven months pregnant. "He used the cover of conducting medical examinations to engage in sexual abuse that he passed off as normal and medically necessary," Strauss said."His conduct was neither normal nor medically necessary."
