SDNY COURTROOM EXCLUSIVE, April 11 – Urologist Darius Paduch was arrested and arraigned on April 11. Inner City Press was there.
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Magistrate Judge Sarah L. Cave held Paduch's arraignment.
Though Paduch had filled out the affidavit to get a publicly paid lawyer, the CJA on duty David Stern said he was for now only representing him for the presentment, and possibly to put together co-signers for a bail package. He consented to detention.
Paduch was in a t-shirt, with left arm tattoos and boots untied, now without laces. Stern said there are many medical issues.
The bail application, Stern said, may be Monday. Judge Cave notes that she will no longer be presiding in the Mag Court then. But Inner City Press will be there.

The prosecutors said: From at least in or about 2015 through at least in or about 2019, PADUCH, while working as a urologist, enticed and induced multiple victims to travel to his medical offices at Medical Institution-1, so PADUCH could, among other things, sexually abuse the victims. In or about 2019, PADUCH began practicing at a different hospital located in Long Island, New York (“Medical Institution-2”), where he continued to sexually abuse patients."
The case is US v. Paduch, 23-cr-181 (Abrams / Cave)
