Darius Paduch, 55, was found guilty by a jury in Manhattan federal court on all 13 counts related to sexual abuse of eight patients, including six boys, from 2015 to 2019.
Paduch allegedly instructed victims to masturbate or did it himself, used sex toys, and performed unnecessary rectal exams without gloves, leveraging trust for gratification.
Over 130 former patients sued Paduch, accusing him of sexual abuse and inflicting pain with unnecessary procedures without anesthesia, while hospitals ignored the misconduct.
Lawyer Mallory Allen stated that the jury verdict in the criminal case and pending civil cases highlight the importance of addressing Paduch's heinous acts and holding institutions accountable.
