Four sexual assault victims say Cy Vance spared pervy Columbia doctor jail time due to campaign donations

For over a year, four women struggled to understand why a demented Columbia University gynecologist was allowed to plead guilty to assaulting only some of them without serving any jail time.

Now, following questions about Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance Jr.’s investigations into the Trump SoHo development and Harvey Weinstein, they think they know why: They believe the prosecutor was compromised by campaign donations.

“I was under the impression they were going to fight for me and the other victims but they didn’t do their part,” a 35-year-old victim of the perverted gynecologist said.

“They owe me an apology!”

Dr. Robert Hadden was charged in June 2014 with fondling and performing oral sex on six patients. As many as 18 women said they’d been abused by him during exams, though most fell outside of the criminal statute of limitations, according to an attorney involved in the case, Anthony DiPietro.
