What Are the Dr. Paduch Lawsuits About?
From 2003 to 2023, Dr. Darius Paduch worked as a urologist specializing in male infertility and reproductive health. Over 300 men and multiple minors claim they were sexually assaulted by Dr. Paduch during this time.
As a result, survivors are taking legal action to seek justice for the harm they experienced by the very man who was supposed to provide them with care.
Dr. Darius Paduch lawsuits claim he:
- Encouraged patients to travel to both New York and New Jersey for care
- Inappropriately touched patients during exams, sometimes without gloves
- Had them perform sexual acts in front of him
- Convinced patients that these actions were medically necessary
- Sent inappropriate texts and emails to some patients
Dr. Paduch used his position at well-known medical institutions — including Columbia University, New York-Presbyterian Hospital, Northwell Health Systems, and Weill Cornell Medical Center — to gain the trust of his patients and carry out this abuse.
Survivors may be able to file a medical sexual assault lawsuit against Dr. Paduch and the institutions that allowed this abuse to continue for years.

About the Darius Paduch Trial 2024
In May 2024, a New York jury found Dr. Darius Paduch guilty on all 11 counts filed against him during a criminal trial, including:
- 6 counts of inducing a person to travel to engage in unlawful sexual activity
- 5 counts of inducing a minor to engage in unlawful sexual activity
In November 2024, Dr. Paduch was sentenced to life in prison for his crimes. While the criminal trial has come to a close, survivors can still seek justice by filing a sexual abuse civil lawsuit.
A civil lawsuit allows survivors to seek financial compensation for the harm they endured. This process can help Dr. Paduch’s former patients recover money for emotional distress, medical expenses, lost wages, and more.
