US Edition20 New Charges Brought Against Former Massachusetts Doctor Accused of Rape
Dr. Derrick Todd faces 20 new charges after 11 women reported invasive, painful exams, with over 270 plaintiffs in a civil suit alleging abuse under medical pretenses.
- A Middlesex grand jury indicted Derrick Todd on 3 counts of rape and 17 counts of indecent assault after 11 victims came forward Thursday.
- The case also stems from a sprawling civil suit naming more than 270 former patients and Todd previously agreed with the state board to stop practicing in 2023.
- Prosecutors say he conducted unnecessary and 'excessively prolonged' pelvic and breast exams, sometimes lasting as long as 45 minutes, outside accepted medical standards during early-morning or nighttime appointments.
- Todd is due to appear for arraignment on March 25 in Middlesex Superior Court and remains free on $10,000 cash bail; defense attorney Ingrid Martin said, 'My client is innocent, we look forward to receiving the evidence and to challenging it in court.'
- Reporting shows alleged misconduct dates back to 2010, and survivors and civil counsel are organizing civil action as investigations may lead to more charges in other counties.
