The victims of a once-prominent neurologist who was convicted of sexually abusing patients and then died by suicide at Rikers Island are speaking out in an effort to keep his death from ending the case against him.
Dr. Ricardo Cruciani, 68, was found unresponsive in a shower area at the Eric M. Taylor Center last month, and he was initially scheduled to be sentenced Wednesday.
A hearing Wednesday was being held to determine what happens to the case against him, whether it will stay on his record or be dismissed, and the six victims were delivering statements to the judge as to why they do not want the charges abated by the death of the defendant. The first victim to speak told the judge she went into a deep depression and attempted suicide, and that Dr. Cruciani stole her soul and left her fearful of going to doctors.
