Perverted Manhattan Urologist Arrested for Sexually Abusing Patients Including Underage Boys

Edited by: TJVNews.com

It appears that a perverted Manhattan urologist has finally met the strong hand of the law. According to a recent report in the New York Post, Darius Paduch, 55, was arrested on Tuesday on criminal charges relating to alleged sexual abuse of underage boys. The report indicated that Paduch is currently being sued by seven male patients for abuse of the same kind.

Paduch was a physician at NewYork-Presbyterian Weill Cornell Medical Center and Northwell Health. The Post reported that the alleged sexual abuse occurred when he was alone with the patients in the exam room. According to a Manhattan federal court indictment, Paduch instructed his patients to masturbate while often playing porn, the report indicated.

The Post also reported that the Manhattan indictment also claims that Paduch would masturbate his patients, use sex toys on them and conduct unnecessary rectal exams without wearing gloves.

The court documents also allege that in some cases, Paduch would grab a victim’s penis telling them “they were masturbating incorrectly,” the Post reported.

The indictment indicated that from 2015 through 2019, the Manhattan urologist was charged with sexually abusing multiple male patients under the guise of medical treatment, as was reported by the Post. Paduch carried out the abuse while working at both facilities (NewYork-Presbyterian Weill Cornell Medical Center and Northwell Health),  say the documents, which refer to the hospitals as “Medical Institution-1” and “Medical Institution-2.”

The indictment also alleges that Paduch of North Bergen, NJ, “used his position as a urologist at prominent medical institutions in New York, to make or attempt to make victims believe that the sexual abuse and assault he inflicted on them was medically necessary and appropriate.” Moreover, the indictment alleges that Paduch whose specialty is in infertility and male reproductive health saw some of the patients over appointments spanning several years, the Post reported.

Subsequent to their office visits with him, Paduch would send text messages to those he allegedly abused in which he would make “inappropriate and sexual comments and jokes” as well as telling them to make follow up appointments, according to the indictment, as was reported by the Post.

The court documents also allege that for years, Paduch abused two underage boys who had to travel from out of state for their appointments with the doctor. The Post reported that Paduch abused one of the boys from 2015 through 2017 and the other from 2015 through 2022, as was claimed by prosecutors in the case.

Paduch is charged with the inducement of minor victims to travel to engage in unlawful sexual activity and related crimes for which he faces up to 60 years in prison if convicted on all charges, the Post reported.

The report also indicated that since December, Paduch has been sued by seven patients who all claim he sexually abused them while they were treated by him.

Paduch worked at NewYork-Presbyterian until 2019 when he moved to Northwell Health. The Post reported that the doctor was listed on Northwell Health’s website as recently as February but can no longer be found in the medical facility’s online pages.

In a statement , Manhattan US Attorney Damian Williams said, “As alleged, for years, Darius Paduch abused the trust of patients, including minors, who saw him for sensitive medical problems.  Paduch took advantage of his victims for his own deviant satisfaction.  Thanks to this morning’s arrest, Paduch’s abuse of his patients ends today.”

FBI Assistant Director Michael J. Driscoll said: “The indictment unsealed today against Paduch, a New York-area doctor, details alleged systemic abuse of a number of patients, to include minors, over the course of several years.  Sexual abuse of anyone at any age for any reason is a horrific crime that carries strict penalties.  If you have been victimized by Darius Paduch in any way or have any additional information about his alleged illegal behavior, please call us at 1-800-CALL-FBI, or reach out to us at www.tips.fbi.gov.”

Victim lawyer Mallory Allen said the case “is a defining step towards justice for his many victims, and we applaud federal prosecutors for bringing these charges, “ the Post reported.  Allen added that, “Paduch preyed on patients who sought care and medical treatment for sensitive issues and when they were at their most vulnerable, lying on treatment beds in hospital rooms. NY Presbyterian and Northwell Health ignored the concerns of patients and their own employees, and enabled Dr. Paduch to abuse patients with impunity – and we will fight to hold them accountable.”
