Andrew Yang's wife Evelyn says she was sexually assaulted by her doctor during pregnancy.
In the interview, the candidate's wife said she faced months of abuse as a patient of Dr. Robert Hadden.
“I certainly didn't want Andrew blaming himself not being able to go with me to these doctors visits because, honestly, if he was with me in the room, if anyone was with me in the room this, obviously, wouldn't have happened. And at the time, he was traveling a lot for his nonprofit,” she said. Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang and his wife Evelyn campaign at the Sidekick Coffee house in Iowa City, Iowa, Dec. 14, 2019.
The district attorney agreed to a plea deal with Hadden and the doctor lost his medical license, registered as the lowest level sex offender, and avoided jail time, according to CNN. Attorney Isabelle Kirshner, who previously represented Hadden declined to comment when reached by ABC News.“I’m extraordinarily proud of Evelyn for telling her story, and my heart breaks every time I think of what she had to experience. She is my best friend and the bravest woman I know. No one deserves to be harmed and treated the way she and countless other women have been. When victims of abuse come forward, they deserve our belief, support, and protection.
