The sicko abused a 47-year-old woman, identified as ‘victim 2’, on her death bed and even recorded himself grabbing her breasts and genitals, according to court papers
A doctor convicted of drugging and sexually assaulting seven women at a NYC hospital and his home also groped a patient fighting for their life on life support. The sicko abused a 47-year-old woman, identified as “victim 2”, on her death bed at New York-Presbyterian Queens Hospital, according to court papers.
Dr. Zhi Alan Cheng is also alleged to have recorded himself grabbing her breasts and genitals, The vile monster pleaded guilty in June to four counts of first-degree rape and three counts of first-degree sexual abuse in New York.
He was given 24 years behind bars but now more sickening parts of the case have been made public. “He recorded himself sexually assaulting the woman who was unconscious on a ventilator and a feeding tube and nearing the end of her life,” said lawyer Nicholas Liakas, whose namesake firm sued the Flushing hospital in 2023 on behalf of four of Cheng’s victims.
“After she died, the family decided not to move forward with a lawsuit out of a desire for privacy,” Liakas added. Now they are calling for a full inquiry into the demon doctor’s actions.
One of the victims was a 19-year-old at the hospital for gallbladder removal. CCTV showed “an individual in blue scrubs . . . entering the unit,” according to the records.
He told the patient he was a stomach doctor and injected her IV with something to make her sleep.
“Cheng was in the room for 19 minutes. The teenager woke up feeling like “someone was twisting and pulling in her lower abdomen” and “doesn’t remember what happened to her,” according to the records.
The law firm is demanding New York-Presbyterian Queens Hospital notify all of Cheng’s patients that they may be victims.
The attorneys also want an investigation into where Cheng got the drugs he used to sedate his victims — accusing him of using “contaminated syringes diverted from other patients on his victims to render them unconscious,” according to a letter the lawyers sent asking a judge to reject Cheng’s plea agreement.
A mother-of-four told The New York Post she was in the hospital for a routine procedure in 2021 when she awoke to find Cheng assaulting her with his hands.
“I was coming to and … he had the curtains drawn and he was vaginally penetrating me,” the 53-year-old said. “I was shocked because I was there for a colonoscopy, which has nothing to do with your vaginal area.”
She said she tried to tell a nurse but the caregiver turned her back and walked away.
“I get flashbacks,” said the woman, who asked to remain anonymous. “I don’t know if I’ll ever get a colonoscopy again.”
Four victims were listed as Jane Does in separate 2023 lawsuits against the doctor, the hospital and its employees in Queens Supreme Court.
The cases are ongoing.
A hospital spokeswoman called the crimes “horrific” and said “we are deeply sorry for all that the victims and their families have endured.
“We worked closely with law enforcement and with the District Attorney’s office to advance this investigation and see that justice is served,” the statement said. “Significant enhancements have been put in place to reinforce patient safety, including further strengthening our escalation, investigation, and chaperone policies, together with mandatory training and additional staffing.”
