Serial sex abuser and disgraced urologist Darius Paduch was sentenced Wednesday to life in prison for sexually abusing male patients — including six minors — at some of the city’s most prestigious hospitals for more than a decade.

Paduch, 57, was convicted May 8 of six counts of inducing travel to engage in unlawful sexual activity and five counts of inducing a minor to engage in unlawful sexual activity over the years of abuse.

He was sentenced to life in prison by Judge Ronnie Abrams on Wednesday, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Manhattan.

“Darius Paduch was a sexual predator who preyed on patients seeking treatment for sensitive medical problems,” U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said in a statement.

“He used his position as a renowned urologist in prestigious hospitals to sexually abuse vulnerable patients, including children, to satisfy his own sexual desires.”

The creepy doctor abused dozens of patients under the guise of medical treatments, backed by the prestige of his employers – including Weill Cornell Medical Center, New York-Presbyterian Hospital, Columbia University and Northwell Health Systems – to make his victims doubt the truth. abuse and often returns to his office for more information, prosecutors said.

A total of 310 victims have come forward with allegations and lawsuits against Paduch — breaking the horrific record for the number of male victims abused by a single predator, according to the attorney for some of the plaintiffs, Anthony DiPietro.

The urologist’s abuse dates back to 2007 and continued through 2019 at various hospitals, according to evidence presented during his two-week grand jury trial.

Some victims were abused for years by the doctor – who specialized in infertility and male reproductive health – during medical appointments.

Paduch masturbated his patients, ordered them to masturbate while he watched, digitally penetrated them without gloves and pressed his own erect penis against their bodies during medical appointments, prosecutors said.

He also used sex toys on his victims, the FBI said.

Paduch – who has been behind bars since his arrest in April 2023 – claimed to his victims that the abuse was part of medically necessary examinations.

“Paduch’s abuse was perverse and pervasive, lasting more than a decade and resulting in victims both inside and outside hospital rooms. He has repeatedly violated his oath to ‘Do No Harm,'” Williams said.

“Today’s verdict shows that medical providers who exploit their position of trust to commit sexual abuse will be held accountable for their conduct.”

The disgraced doctor also faces multiple civil lawsuits against a total of 310 former patients and victims.

The lawsuits detail further disturbing patterns of alleged abuse — including inflicting pain on his patients by skipping anesthesia during unnecessary procedures and performing penis enlargements that led to deformities.

Lawyers representing the victims welcomed the conviction on Wednesday.

“Today’s life sentence for Darius Paduch marks a crucial victory for justice and accountability,” DiPietro said. “As a doctor, Darius Paduch exploited his position of trust to prey on vulnerable individuals, and now he will face the consequences of his heinous actions.”

“While no sentence can ever undo the pain and suffering endured by every survivor who experienced abuse at the hands of Dr. Darius Paduch, the sentencing closes an important chapter for these survivors,” said Mallory Allen, who represents 140 former patients .

“For nearly two decades, patients who trusted him for their medical care and treatment were instead mistreated by his degrading, sexually violating, and medically baseless actions, while the supposedly prestigious medical institutions where we worked continued to look the other way.

“The strength of the survivors, especially those brave enough to testify in the criminal trial, was incredible and allowed Dr. Paduch was called to account. His sentence today reaffirms that horrific sexual abuse will not be overlooked.”

Both lawyers said they intended to hold the institutions that allowed Paduch’s abuse to go unchecked in civil court.

“But this is just the beginning. Our focus now is on holding the institutions accountable for covering up and enabling Paduch’s exploitation of patients under the guise of medical care,” DiPietro added.

“Every patient who was exposed to this known predator deserves justice, and we will fight until it is served.”
