    This story includes detailed descriptions of sexual assaults.

    And the first detailed description is well above the warning, as soon as you click the link. Disturbing, and clickbaity journalism frankly. Propublica should have more respect for their readers.

    And yes, what the article describes is beyond horrendous, there needs to be an outcry.

    This part here needs to be shared widely:

    Some of Hadden’s former patients, including Yang, called legislators to push for the passage of the Adult Survivors Act, a New York law that opened a temporary window for victims of abuse to file civil suits against their abusers, even when a statute of limitations has expired. The window will close on Nov. 23.

    Because Columbia refuses to notify them, an untold number of Hadden’s patients remain unaware that he has been convicted.
