A doctor from Massachusetts, already embroiled in a multitude of rape and assault allegations, has now been charged with over 80 additional counts related to his tenure as a rheumatologist and general practitioner at Brigham and Women’s Faulkner Hospital.
On Tuesday, Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden revealed that Dr. Derrick Todd has been indicted by a grand jury on 21 counts of rape, 59 counts of indecent assault and battery, and one count of assault with intent to rape.
This new indictment significantly broadens the existing case against Todd, adding to an already vast array of charges across various jurisdictions, highlighting the extensive nature of alleged misconduct involving numerous patients over multiple years.
During his practice at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Brigham and Women’s Faulkner Hospital, Todd is accused of conducting unwarranted breast and pelvic examinations on patients.

Prosecutors allege that the incidents occurred between 2017 and 2023, involving 22 victims whose ages range from 17 to 56.
“This is an extraordinary set of indictments, not just for the sheer volume of charges and number of women assaulted, but for the fact that all these women were violated by … a medical professional, the one person they entrusted to help them in their time of need,” Hayden told reporters at the press conference.
Hayden did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for additional comment.
One of Todd’s lawyers, defense attorney Ingrid Martin, said in a statement to Fox News Digital that the legal team “have received no information about these charges, so we have no comment at this time.”

The former doctor previously pleaded not guilty to 22 counts of rape and indecent assault and battery in Middlesex County. The new Suffolk County charges are separate from the Middlesex County case.
He is also named in multiple ongoing medical malpractice lawsuits, with hundreds of former patients signing a class action complaint in 2024.
Hayden said Todd’s case is unprecedented, saying, “the scale of victimization and the magnitude of trauma left in the wake of these allegations is something we have never encountered.”
He added that Todd will be arraigned on the new charges in Suffolk Superior Court at a later date.

The district attorney also expressed his gratitude for the victims that have come forward over the last few years to assist the prosecutors in building their case.
“I want each survivor to know that we stand with you and to know we will be standing with you every step of the way,” Hayden said.
