NYT: Urologist Who Sexually Abused Patients Is Sentenced to Life in Prison

Mallory Allen, a lawyer for a firm that represents 140 former patients who have filed civil suits against him, said in a statement that the sentence affirms that “heinous sexual abuse will not be overlooked.”

Survivors of the abuse have also sued the hospitals where he worked under the Adult Survivors Act, which opened a yearlong window between 2022 and 2023 during which adult victims of abuse could file claims even after the statute of limitations had passed.

“While no sentence can ever undo the pain and suffering endured by each and every survivor who experienced abuse at the hands of Dr. Darius Paduch, the sentencing closes an important chapter for these survivors,” Ms. Allen said in the statement.

Although a one-year window was a good step, it did not provide enough time to capture everyone who could have a civil claim, said Mallory C. Allen, a partner at PCVA Law who represents clients who have sued through the Adult Survivors Act.

Ms. Allen’s firm has filed more than 100 lawsuits against a urologist, Darius A. Paduch, who was charged by federal prosecutors in Manhattan in April with carrying out yearslong abuse against minor patients. Those who have filed under the Adult Survivors Act against Mr. Paduch and the prominent New York hospitals where he worked, primarily NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, were adults when they say they were abused.

“He was arrested, and the news broke of his arrest during the window,” Ms. Allen said, adding: “I’m confident that we will continue to receive phone calls from survivors who want to exercise their legal rights.”

Between 2006 and 2018, at least five complaints were made by patients and employees of Weill Cornell, accusing Paduch of a range of inappropriate behavior and sexually charged remarks, according to interviews with patients and lawyers as well as a review of hundreds of pages of court documents. “This is not a man who was able to abuse hundreds, if not thousands, of patients in a vacuum,” said Mallory Allen, a Seattle-based attorney who represents 140 men, including BR.

She called Paduch “sadistic” and a “sexual predator” who leveraged being a doctor to victimize his patients. “He did so under the banner of the institutions where he worked,” Allen added.

“It’s an attempt to distract from obviously not only their conduct for decades in the Archdiocese of New York, turning a blind eye to sexual abuse of children, but also their conduct in the last six years in this litigation,” said Mallory Allen, an attorney for victims.

Now, some alleged victims of the former doctor — many of whom were not part of the criminal case — continue to seek justice from the hospitals they say gave him the prominence and the platform to prey on them. At least 800 lawsuits have been filed by civil lawyer Mallory Allen and other lawyers, against the two hospitals for Paduch’s behavior.

“Many of our clients saw Dr. Paduch while he was under active investigation at both hospitals,” Allen told Newsday. “How they allow him to see patients while he’s under active investigation for sexual misconduct is beyond me. A big goal of our clients is to figure out what did they know and when did they know it.”

“Unfortunately, this is not an isolated incident,” claimed Mallory Allen, attorney for Feihel’s alleged victims and a partner at Seattle, Washington-based law firm PCVA LAW.

“Just like Dr. Paduch, Dr. Feihel was able to use his position of immense trust to sexually abuse patients who went to him seeking medical care,” Allen said.

“They either received the complaints and didn’t do anything with (them), or they failed to set up a system which ensured that things were adequately escalated up the chain — both of which are unacceptable for patients,” Allen said.
