DiPietro said he’s seeking these documents relating to the DA’s criminal case and plea deal because it could undercut the claim he says Columbia has made from the beginning — that they had no idea Hadden was routinely sexually abusing his patients.
Attorney Anthony DiPietro, who is representing hundreds of Hadden’s victims in the civil suit, is also seeking the DA’s communications with Hadden’s longtime employer, Columbia University, in relation to Hadden’s 2016 no-jail plea deal with Bragg's predecessor, former DA Cyrus Vance Jr.
Robert Hadden took a plea deal during his prosecution by the Manhattan DA's office in 2016 and saw no jail time, despite admitting to abusing at least six patients.

Documents related to the sweetheart plea deal which only forced Hadden to forfeit his medical license and register as a level one sex offender could help establish what Columbia knew and when they knew it, the attorney said.
Manhattan’s district attorney was held in contempt by a state court for refusing to turn over plea deal documents with a doctor who was later convicted as a sexual predator.
