Derrick Todd, a former physician at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, has been charged with multiple counts of sexual assault, including rape, stemming from allegations that he assaulted numerous patients over several years. Following a police investigation sparked by a report from a patient, authorities claim that Todd has been accused of conducting sexual assaults at his home in Lynn and at the hospital itself. Prosecutors have indicated that there could be hundreds of victims, with some being underage at the time of the incidents. ‘This is one of the most disturbing cases I have ever seen,’ said Suffolk District Attorney Kevin Hayden in a press conference. The alleged assaults occurred as far back as 2016, and the investigation is ongoing as more victims are encouraged to come forward. The hospital has issued a statement expressing their commitment to providing a safe environment for patients and cooperating with law enforcement. Todd is scheduled for arraignment and has been released on bail, which is set at $1 million. The case has drawn significant media attention and raised concerns regarding patient safety in hospital settings. Victims’ advocates are calling for systemic changes to better protect patients and hold perpetrators accountable.
