He faces six federal counts of "enticing and inducing individuals to travel interstate to engage in illegal sexual activity," <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/former-obstetriciangynecologist-robert-hadden-charged-manhattan-federal-court-sexually">the Justice Department said</a>.DiPietro said he believes other staff at Columbia and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital <a href="https://www.insider.com/robert-hadden-faces-more-sex-abuse-allegations-in-lawsuit-against-columbia-2018-12">were aware Hadden was abusing women and girls.</a>"Hadden's arrest and criminal prosecution have been a long time coming, and yet I feel like this is just getting started," he said. "Countless other high-ranking individuals at Columbia University and The New York Presbyterian Hospital were aware of Hadden's misconduct over his 20-year tenure, and yet they did nothing but cover up his serial sexual abuse of patients."Columbia and NewYork-Presbyterian condemned the allegations against Hadden in statements to Insider."Nothing is more important to Columbia than the safety of our patients, and we condemn sexual misconduct in any form. We commend the women who have spoken out against Robert Hadden and will cooperate fully with the US Attorney's Office," Columbia University said in a statement.NewYork-Presbyterian said: "The trust that patients place in their physicians is sacred. Robert Hadden's abhorrent actions violated that sacred trust and damaged women's lives. We will continue to condemn his horrific conduct and provide our full cooperation to law enforcement as it works to ensure that justice is served."Acting US Attorney Audrey Strauss said in court filings on Wednesday that Hadden abused dozens of women and girls during exams between 1993 and 2012 in which he "inappropriately touched, squeezed, and even licked his victims." The charges he faces involve six women and a minor victim."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."Several women have spoken out publicly to say they were victims of Hadden, including <a href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/albertsamaha/robert-hadden-doctor-sexual-abuse-cy-vance">Marissa Hoechstetter</a> and <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/16/politics/evelyn-yang-interview-assault/index.html">Evelyn Yang</a>, the wife of former presidential candidate Andrew Yang.Hadden surrendered his medical license in 2016, two years after the Manhattan district attorney charged him in connection to accusations of sexual abuse.

A lawyer for alleged victims of Robert Hadden, a former New York gynecologist accused of sexually abusing patients for 2 decades says the case is 'just getting started'

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Darius Paduch, a former urologist, is accused in a new lawsuit of sexually assaulting men and boys. </li><li>Anthony T. DiPietro, the prosecuting attorney, called Paduch a "serious sexual predator."</li></ul>This article contains descriptions of sexual assault. In a new lawsuit filed in New York, Darius Paduch, a former urologist, is accused of molesting minors and men alike by performing unnecessary examinations and touching their genitals under the guise of medical necessity over a period of years — and his employers are accused of being well aware of his actions. <a href="https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=s0c1JzuB8NEhpB_PLUS_CncZpXA==" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The lawsuit</a>, filed September 26 in the New York Supreme Court, comes after <a href="https://www.insider.com/new-york-urologist-indicted-on-charges-of-sexual-abuse-patients-2023-4">Paduch's April indictment</a> by a federal grand jury.This new filing has 58 plaintiffs, but the prosecuting attorney, Anthony T. DiPietro, told Insider there were already more who had come forward to share the experiences they had with Paduch.Along with Paduch, multiple medical centers are listed as defendants in the suit, including NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center, and Long Island Jewish Medical Center. In Paduch's career, he moved to several different medical centers in the area. From the early 2000s, he worked at Columbia University Irving Medical Center and Weill Cornell Medical Center. He later moved to Northwell Health in 2019, the suit says. The suit alleges that during his career, Paduch engaged in multiple abusive and <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/what-is-grooming">grooming behaviors</a>, including asking patients about their pornography and masturbatory habits, giving genitalia exams without gloves, instructing patients to masturbate in front of him and masturbating patients himself, and fondling and groping patients. The suit also alleges Paduch performed unnecessary surgeries that supposedly addressed erectile dysfunction.Additionally, the suit says multiple complaints were made verbally and formally to Paduch's superiors at his places of work, which were either ignored or covered up. Paduch was "asked to leave" his first workplace, but his patients were not told that he was leaving the practice after multiple sexual-abuse complaints were made, the suit says. DiPietro, who works mainly in patient-safety and medical-malpractice cases, described Paduch as a "serial sexual predator" who abused boys and men at multiple medical practices.He also connected the case to the case against Robert Hadden, a former gynecologist who was sentenced to 20 years in prison after <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/larry-nassar-sentenced-175-years-prison-sexual-assault-2018-1?_gl=1*1yt5zpx*_ga*MzIwMjM2OTE4LjE2ODY1OTY2MTY.*_ga_E21CV80ZCZ*MTY5NjIwOTA1MS4yNjcuMC4xNjk2MjA5MDUxLjYwLjAuMA..">sexually abusing dozens of patients</a>. Hadden was also connected to Columbia University medical centers, DiPietro said, and committed similar acts of fraud, exploitation, and grooming against girls and women. DiPietro said he would continue to file cases as more people came forward.Many of his clients want policy changes at the various hospitals involved to protect current and future patients from harm, DiPietro said. "If it weren't for our clients coming forward and holding them accountable, these predators would still be there doing it to people," DiPietro said. "If there's any credit that is due in these cases it's to every single one of our clients who's been willing to step up and help get this done."A spokesperson for Weill Cornell Medicine called the behavior described in the lawsuits "extremely disturbing.""No patient who entrusts us with their care should ever experience such appalling behavior," the spokesperson said. "We continue to cooperate fully with law enforcement and are committed to maintaining the highest professional and ethical standards."The Long Island Jewish Medical Center — part of the larger Northwell Health network — also said it would continue to take allegations against its former employee Paduch seriously and cooperate with authorities conducting investigations.Paduch and the medical centers associated with Columbia University did not respond to requests for comment sent outside regular business hours.

A urologist who sexually abused dozens of patients bounced around the New York medical community for years without his employers taking claims seriously, new lawsuit says

What's the beef?So what's really going on at Two Sigma?In case you missed it, John Overdeck and David Siegel, two of the billionaire cofounders behind the $60 billion quantitative hedge fun, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/two-sigma-hedge-fund-david-siegel-john-overdeck-2023-6">really don't get along.</a>So much so, in fact, the firm disclosed as much in a regulatory filing, detailing how it can't really make decisions on anything as a result of them butting heads. Insider's Rebecca Ungarino has more details on <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/two-sigma-hedge-fund-david-siegel-john-overdeck-2023-6">how long the beef between Overdeck and Siegel</a> has been brewing behind the scenes. What stands out to me about the drama at Two Sigma is how it all seems to be so petty.When I first wrote about the news, I mentioned how this was an example of founder-led hedge funds reaching a critical juncture in their existence: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/hedge-funds-succession-plans-organization-maturity-2023-6">Grow up or go bust.</a>But in the case of case of Two Sigma, there doesn't seem to be a smoking gun signifying a fatal blow between the two sides. Instead, it's a relationship destroyed by a thousand paper cuts.(If you disagree, or have additional insight, I know Rebecca <a href="mailto:rungarino@insider.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">would love to hear from you.</a>)This very newsletter got a front-row seat to the pettiness, it now seems. A few months back, I included one of the cofounder's name in a blurb about hedge-fund executive pay in 2022. It wasn't long before I had a correction request from a third-party identifying itself as working with Two Sigma.Could you include both names? They are both cofounders of the firm.Mind you, the story wasn't even focusing on Two Sigma! In fact, it was about how Haidar Capital's Said Haidar had <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/inflation-bet-hedge-fund-manager-earn-859m-leverage-assets-haidar-2023-2?_gl=1*1e15b4b*_ga*MTMxMjY4OTg1LjE2NTkzNjY3MjU.*_ga_E21CV80ZCZ*MTY3Njk4NzkxMy4yNDguMS4xNjc2OTg4MTY0LjAuMC4w">seemingly come out of nowhere to make it into the top 10 most highly paid hedge fund managers</a>. The Two Sigma cofounder was included only as an example of the type of managers Haidar had eclipsed. (We didn't make a correction, for the record.)I suppose there is the notion that billions of dollars are at stake, so it's worth fighting for every last bit. But as the old saying goes, "Penny wise and pound foolish."Perhaps Overdeck and Siegel could do with a little corporate retreat to Omaha to hear from Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger. Those two have figured out a way to make it work for the past 40-plus years, and still managed to make a ton of money along the way.<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/two-sigma-hedge-fund-david-siegel-john-overdeck-2023-6">Insiders say Two Sigma's unusual risk disclosure was years in the making</a><hr />In other news:<a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/seth-klarman-key-traits-needed-to-become-a-successful-investor-2023-6?_gl=1*1ew3s01*_ga*NDEwMTkzOTE2LjE2NjYxMjcyNDQ.*_ga_E21CV80ZCZ*MTY4Nzk3NDIzNy45Ny4xLjE2ODc5NzQ4NDMuNDcuMC4w"></a><div type="image" title="seth klarman graphic" height="1000" width="2000" msid="101368090" hostid="261"></div>2.

Each count carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.Acting US Attorney Audrey Strauss said that Hadden "inappropriately touched, squeezed, and even licked his victims" and that one of his victims was a minor he had helped deliver as a baby, the AP reported."He used the cover of conducting medical examinations to engage in <keyword id="56517" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="sexual-abuse">sexual abuse</keyword> that he passed off as normal and medically necessary," Strauss said. "His conduct was neither normal nor medically necessary."Prosecutors said Hadden abused dozens of women and girls from 1993 to 2012 while he worked at Columbia University and at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. The charges involve five adults and a minor.In the DOJ press release, Strauss called Hadden "a predator in a white coat."Hadden surrendered his medical license in 2016 as part of a plea deal with the Manhattan district attorney, whose office in 2014 brought a case against him over accusations of criminal sex acts. The plea deal meant Hadden avoided jail time but "pleaded guilty to a single felony count of criminal sexual act in the third degree, and one misdemeanor count of forcible touching," <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/16/us/andrew-evelyn-yang-dr-robert-hadden.html">The New York Times reported</a>.Yang's wife, Evelyn Yang, testified as part of the 2014 case against Hadden. <a href="https://www.npr.org/2020/09/09/911122701/ex-columbia-university-gynecologist-indicted-for-allegedly-abusing-dozens-of-pat">An NPR report said</a> it was unclear whether she was one of the six victims included in the new indictment.Evelyn Yang <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/16/politics/evelyn-yang-interview-assault/index.html">told CNN in January</a> that Hadden sexually abused her in 2012 when he was her gynecologist and she was pregnant. She said it "started with inappropriate questions" that were "unrelated to my health."She said the doctor examined her more frequently than was medically necessary, adding, "I feel like I put up with some inappropriate behavior that I didn't know at the time was straight-up sexual abuse/sexual assault."Yang said Hadden had examined her internally without a glove on when she was seven months pregnant. "At that moment, I knew it was wrong," she said. "I knew I was being assaulted."Yang had called Hadden's plea deal with the Manhattan DA a "slap on the wrist," the AP reported.The federal indictment "only puts into high relief the betrayal I and his other victims experienced by the Manhattan DA," Marissa Hoechstetter, who has also accused Hadden of abuse, told the AP."I hope that through the course of this, the world will finally see the full extent of Hadden's decades of sexual abuse and the institutional cowardice that protected and enabled him for so long," she said. "He and his enablers must be held accountable if we are to make change in a system that harms those it is meant to protect."

Matt Gaetz of Florida has hired two top defense attorneys to represent him. The lawyers, Marc Mukasey and Isabelle Kirshner, come as a probe into Gaetz intensifies.The <keyword id="1123194" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="House-Ethics-Committee">House Ethics Committee</keyword> on Friday <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/house-ethics-committee-opens-investigation-into-rep-matt-gaetz-2021-4">announced an investigation into Gaetz</a> over allegations of sexual misconduct. A bombshell New York Times report released last week revealed that Gaetz is <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/matt-gaetz-sex-trafficking-extortion-investigation-explainer-timeline-2021-3">facing a federal sex crimes investigation</a>, a probe designed to determine whether he had a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl. Officials are also seeking to learn whether he had violated sex-trafficking laws. The Florida Republican has not been charged, and he's repeatedly denied all allegations. Instead, he's pushed a narrative that says the federal investigation and these allegations make up <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/matt-gaetz-sex-trafficking-extortion-investigation-explainer-timeline-2021-3">an elaborate and convoluted scheme</a> to extort him and his family for $25 million."Once again, the office will reiterate, these allegations are blatantly false and have not been validated by a single human being willing to put their name behind them," Gaetz's office said in a statement Friday.The probe, nevertheless, is heating up. And Gaetz hired well-connected powerhouse attorneys to help him navigate through the mess. The attorneys "will take the fight to those trying to smear his name with falsehoods," said his spokesperson in a statement to Insider, provided by Mukasey. <h2>Marc Mukasey</h2>Mukasey is a high-profile attorney with close ties to former President Donald Trump and his ex-personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani. Mukasey and Giuliani <a href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisgeidner/marc-mukasey-trump-giuliani">used to be law partners</a>. After they split ways, one of Mukasey's first clients was Trump himself. He currently represents the Trump Organization in an ongoing criminal probe into the former president's <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-tax-returns-explainer-donald-trump-organization-2021-2">tax returns conducted by the Manhattan District Attorney's office</a>. One of Mukasey's most controversial cases involved Navy SEAL <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/timeline-of-a-seals-war-crimes-case-navy-head-fired-2019-11">Eddie Gallagher</a>, accused and acquitted of charges related to war crimes. Mukasey's career and that of his father have for years closely intertwined with the needs of top GOP leaders. His father, Michael, was a district judge appointed by Ronald Reagan, Law &amp; Crime <a href="https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/matt-gaetz-has-lawyered-up-what-to-know-about-his-defense-team/?utm_source=mostpopular">reported</a>. He also served as the US attorney general under the George W. Bush administration. <h2>Isabelle Kirshner</h2>Kirshner is an outspoken critic of Trump, constantly blasting him in public. She's previously referred to the former president as a "scourge" and an "existential threat," according to the <a href="https://twitter.com/jacq_thomsen/status/1380531979138043907">New York Law Journal</a>. As an attorney, she has represented several high-profile male clients who've faced serious sexual abuse and misconduct allegations. She is a former Manhattan assistant district attorney who represented former New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman after <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/four-women-accuse-new-yorks-attorney-general-of-physical-abuse">allegations of sexual assault and violence</a> against him came out. Schneiderman denied all allegations but resigned from his position.Kirshner's also represented Dr. Robert Hadden, the New York gynecologist accused of sexual assault. Among his accusers was Evelyn Wang, the wife of now New York City mayoral candidate Andrew Yang. Evelyn said Hadden had <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/andrew-yang-wife-evelyn-sexual-assault-ob-gyn-robert-hadden-2020-1">sexually assaulted her during an OB-GYN visit</a> while she was seven months pregnant with her first child. Hadden was <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/new-york-city-gynecologist-indicted-sexual-assaults-spanning-decades-n1239651">charged</a> last September with a pattern of sexual assault and abuse spanning decades, from 1993 to 2012.Kirshner's office did not return a request for comment from Insider.Have a news tip?

Andrew Yang's wife Evelyn says she was sexually assaulted by her gynecologist while pregnant

<div class="image-container float_right" style="width:400px"><div class="image"><img src="http://static3.businessinsider.com/image/5139ff35ecad04e21b000000-523-392/lion-attack-victim.jpeg?maxX=400&amp;maxY=300" border="0" alt="lion attack victim" width="400" height="300" /></div>AP Photo/Paul Hanson<keyword id="6370207" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="lion">Lion</keyword> attack victim Dianna Hanson</div>DUNLAP, Calif. (AP) — The investigation into a lion attack that killed a 24-year-old woman who loved big cats is focusing on a cage door that the 550-pound animal managed to escape through to reach the volunteer intern, officials say.
Authorities said Thursday they believe the 5-year-old male lion broke the neck of the woman at a Central <keyword id="2379" type="CITY" weightage="60" keywordseo="California">California</keyword> animal park after it got out of its feeding cage and attacked as she cleaned its bigger area.
The investigation is continuing into how the powerful beast and Dianna Hanson came tragically to be in the same place at the same time, Fresno County coroner David Hadden said.
"The lion had been fed, the young woman was cleaning the large enclosure, and the lion was in the small cage. The gate of the cage was partially open, which allowed the lion called Cous Cous to lift it up with his paw," Hadden said, based on a briefing from investigators. "He ran at the young lady."
Hanson was talking with a co-worker on a cellphone in the moments before she was killed, the coroner said. The co-worker became concerned when the conversation ended abruptly and Hanson failed to call back. The co-worker then called authorities when she went to check on Hanson.
Hadden said the lion broke Hanson's neck, probably with a swipe of a paw, killing her instantly.
Sheriff's deputies shot Cous Cous after he couldn't be coaxed away from Hanson's body.
Hanson had been working for two months as an intern at Cat Haven, a 100-acre private zoo east of Fresno. Her father, Paul Hanson, described his daughter as a "fearless" lover of big cats and said her goal was to work with the animals at an accredited zoo. She died doing what she loves, he said.
That love was apparent on her Facebook page, which is plastered with photos of her petting tigers and other big cats. She told her father she was frustrated that Cat Haven did not allow direct contact with animals.
"She was disappointed because she said they wouldn't let her into the cages with the lion and tiger there," said Paul Hanson, a Seattle-area attorney.
The owner of the zoo said Thursday that safety protocols were in place but he would not discuss them because they are a part of the <keyword id="6355470" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Law">law</keyword> enforcement investigation. Dale Anderson said he's the only person allowed in the enclosure when lions are present.
"We want to assure the community that we have followed all safety protocols," Anderson said. "We have been incident-free since 1998 when we opened."
Friends of Dianna Hanson recalled her passion for cat conservation.
"She was lovely, energetic, athletic. She did everything she could to help our conservation efforts," said Kat Combes of the Soysambu Conservancy in Kenya, where Hanson recently had volunteered to work in the Cheetah Research Center.
The reddish-haired young woman sustained numerous bites and scratches in Wednesday's attack, and the autopsy revealed they were inflicted after she died.
"Which means the young lady ... wasn't alive when the lion was tossing the body about," said Hadden, the coroner. "We think the lion hit her with his paw and that's what fractured her neck."
When the attack occurred, Anderson said he and two other Cat Haven workers had left to take a cheetah to exhibit at a school. Hanson and another worker were left behind.
Whether Hanson was performing a function that placed her in danger is being investigated by Cal-OSHA, which also is trying to determine if employees were properly instructed about potential danger, as required.
"There should have been procedures that very clearly stated what the employees were required to do in order to not get killed," said agency spokesman Peter Melton, who added that documentation about the warning had not yet been provided by Cat Haven.
In addition, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which enforces the federal Animal Welfare Act, is also looking to understand why the lion turned on the intern.
"We're looking at whether the animal was acting in a manner leading up to that situation that maybe the staff should have been aware of," spokesman Dave Sacks said. "Was it being fed properly? Was it under undue stress?"
USDA inspectors conduct multiple unannounced inspections of Cat Haven every year and never had found a violation, Sacks said. Federal regulations pertain only to animal treatment and do not "cover every single instance of what a facility can and cannot do," he said.
A necropsy on the lion is being performed at the California Animal Health and Food Safety Lab in Tulare.
Cat Haven breeds and keeps lions, tigers, jaguars, lynx and other exotic cats and takes them out for public appearances. A recent television report showed a reporter petting one of the animals.
It does not hold voluntary accreditation from the Association of Zoos &amp; Aquariums, said Senior Vice President Steve Feldman, or by the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries. Both set standards for members.
"There are very clear standards for care," said Adam Roberts of Born Free USA, part of the federation. "Standards should not allow close contact with humans."
By all accounts, Hanson loved contact with cats. In one photo on her Facebook page, a leopard is lying next to her leg.
Late last year, she traveled to a preserve where she had volunteered in Bellingham, Wash., and posted a photo of herself standing in a tiger enclosure holding a stick as she was preparing to scratch the animal's back.
"I was bending over to scratch her back with my hand," she wrote under the photo. "You only touch them with your hands ... one doesn't poke a tiger with a stick."
On the same post, she expressed excitement about going to Cat Haven to start an internship. "So be prepared for more kitty pictures with new cats!" she wrote.
Hanson's family was taking some solace in that she died doing what she loved.
"She was living her dream and pursuing her life's work to the fullest," her brother, Paul R. Hanson, told the AP. "Upon completion of college she set off to pursue her life's work of bringing awareness of the plight of these magnificent animals through education and outreach."
In a letter posted to family and friends, the woman who had graduated in 2011 from Western Washington University with a bachelor's degree in ecology, evolution and biology talked about falling in love with exotic cats. After meeting a Washington couple with four tigers, she was hooked.
"For the last two and a half years I have been learning how to care for these animals and come next February, my father has given me a plane ticket" to Kenya, she enthusiastically wrote, adding later: "As my mother can tell you, I have had the goals of working with big cats since she adopted a tiger in my name when I was 7. I'm getting there."
