Robert Hadden, an ex-gynecologist convicted of sexually abusing hundreds of patients, has been ordered to spend the next two months in jail by a federal judge in New York City. The decision was made after victims' statements were heard during the bail hearing, and was opposed by defense attorneys. Andrew Yang's wife, Evelyn Yang, was one of Hadden's victims and has spoken out about her experience. Hadden's attorneys have filed an appeal against the detention order, but it is unclear if it will be successful.

A federal jury in New York has convicted gynecologist Robert Hadden of sex trafficking charges, bringing a sense of justice to hundreds of former patients who were molested by the doctor during a decades-long career. Nine former patients testified about how he had sexually abused them during examinations, and the jury deliberated for less than a day before returning the verdict. Hadden now faces up to life in prison, and sentencing is scheduled for June 18.
