Dr. Zhi Alan Cheng, a doctor at New York Presbyterian Queens Hospital, has been accused of drugging and sexually assaulting his patients and others over a period of years. Prosecutors have found evidence of multiple victims after searching his phone. The investigation is ongoing to find more victims.
Prosecutors say Cheng drugged and sexually assaulted his patients and others over a period of years, and they know that because he recorded it himself.
"It's always difficult when you find anyone is a victim. It is always difficult to find out after the fact. You know, some might have known, some might have had a feeling, some had no Idea. I can't really talk in details about each of the victims, but I will tell you that it has been a traumatic type of case all around," said Queens DA Melinda Katz.
Attorney Nicholas Liakis represents a 19-year-old woman, who prosecutors say was drugged through her IV and raped by her New York Presbyterian Gastroenterologist, Dr. Cheng - who allegedly shot the assault on his phone. New York Presbyterian fired Cheng on the spot when he was first arrested. On Monday, the hospital described its responsibility to its patients as a sacred trust.
