A once-prominent neurologist has been found guilty on charges of sexually abusing patients while treating them with pain medications.
A once-prominent neurologist was found guilty Friday on charges of sexually abusing patients while treating them with pain medications.
"We entrust doctors to respect our bodies and health when we go to them for help, yet Dr. Cruciani utterly violated that duty," District Attorney Alvin Bragg said in a statement. Cruciani, Bragg added, "left in his wake six survivors who continue to suffer from debilitating diseases, and now, years of trauma."
Six women testified the sexual abuse often occurred behind closed doors during appointments in 2013 at a Manhattan medical center, where the doctor would expose himself and demand sex.In closing arguments, prosecutor Shannon Lucey called the behavior "just pure evil," adding, "This defendant is nothing but a drug dealer who used his prescription pad as a weapon."
"Mr. Cruciani and his lawyers were indefatigable in their attempts to portray me and the other witnesses as liars but the truth prevailed," Tullin said Friday in response to the verdict. "What happened to us is real, it’s traumatic, and it can no longer be denied."
