SDNY COURTROOM
EXCLUSIVE, May 9 – Urologist
Darius Paduch
was arrested
and arraigned
on April 11,
2023. 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."
On April 19
Paduch's
counsel submitted
a letter to
Magistrate
Judge Jennifer
E. Willis
for release on
bail, attaching
his TIAA
retirement ($1,500,000)
Citibank home
equity
($400,000) and
name of his
life partner
and proposed
co-signer,
Robert
Lischer. "The
couple is also
parenting a
nine year old
son they
adopted
together in
2020."
Another
proposed
co-signer: Jordan
Roosma; "he
met Dr. Paduch
as a patient
at 13 years
old." Also, Paduch's
cousin
Jadwiga
Wojcik,
employed at
Greene, Tweed
& Company.
But he
was denied:
"Minute Entry

Magistrate
Judge Jennifer
E Willis:
Detention
Hearing as to
Darius A
Paduch held on

Defendant

CJA counsel

Soloway. AUSA

Colson present

Government.
BAIL
DISPOSITION:
DETENTION;
RISK OF
FLIGHT/DANGER.
*COMMENTS: As
explained more
fully in the
transcript,
Dr. Paduch was
detained on
dangerousness
only. The
robust package
he proposed
tying up a
significant
portion of his
assets and
co-signs by
husband,
cousin and
former patient
allayed
concerns about
about flight.
However, the
nature and
circumstances
of the charge
and the weight
of the
evidence
create
significant
concern about
the safety of
the community.
Dr. Paduch is
alleged to
have sexually
assaulted over
ten alleged
victims, many
who were under
18 and is
alleged to
have used
phone and
internet to
arrange to
meet some of
these alleged
victims at
locations
other than his
office."
On May
9, Paduch's
counsel wrote
to Judge
Ronnie Abrams
asked to push
a May 10
conference to
May 24 to also
address "the
bail motion to
be filed."
The case is US
v. Paduch,
23-cr-181

Cave)
