We speak to the attorney suing Columbia University and its affiliated hospitals on behalf of some 300 more patients who say they were sexually assaulted by former Columbia University obstetrician Robert Hadden over two decades while Columbia shielded the sexual predator. Anthony T. DiPietro filed a new lawsuit against the university and its affiliated hospitals earlier this week. Columbia knew from the beginning," DiPietro says of Hadden's abuse and its subsequent cover-up. Survivors, he continues, shouldn't be having to carry this burden around with them for their entire lives."
