Mary D’Alton

The provided news articles do not mention anyone named Mary D'Alton. Instead, they focus on Columbia University and the case of Dr. Robert Hadden, an OB-GYN who sexually abused over 1,000 patients during his 25-year career at the university. The articles highlight a recently released report detailing a culture of silence that enabled Hadden's abuse, despite decades of warnings to Columbia University administrators. The New York State Attorney General's office has also launched an investigation into Columbia University's handling of the situation, specifically examining how Hadden was allowed to continue seeing patients despite these warnings. The situation is newsworthy due to the scale of the abuse, the alleged institutional failures at Columbia, and the ongoing investigations and potential legal ramifications.
