A New York City urologist was sentenced to life Wednesday after he was convicted of years of sexual abuse of patients, some of whom were minors.
Darius Paduch, 57, of North Bergen, New Jersey, worked as a urologist at two prominent New York medical institutions. He was convicted in May of six counts of inducing a person to travel to engage in unlawful sexual activity and five counts of inducing a minor to engage in unlawful sexual activity.
Paduch worked as a urologist in New York City from 2003 through 2023 with a specialization in male infertility and male reproductive health.
He enticed and induced multiple victims to travel to his practicing office in Manhattan from at least 2007 to 2019, where he would sexually abuse them, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York said in a news release.
Paduch would also persuade victims to visit other locations in New Jersey to commit sexual abuse, and he continued doing so when he moved his practice to a Long Island hospital in 2019, according to federal prosecutors.
