Queens Doctor Charged With Drugging and Assaulting Patients on Camera
Zhi Alan Cheng, a former doctor at a prominent New York hospital, recorded dozens of videos as he raped and sexually abused women, prosecutors said.

Aug. 7, 2023

The grim accusation rocked a major New York City hospital late last year: An emerging gastroenterologist had been charged with first-degree rape. Prosecutors said he had drugged a girlfriend and filmed the assault at his apartment.

The doctor, Zhi Alan Cheng, 33, was fired from the medical center, NewYork-Presbyterian Queens, in December after his arrest.

Then, when investigators searched his electronic devices, they uncovered a disturbing stash: dozens of short videos showing Mr. Cheng sexually abusing other women at his home in Astoria and at the hospital where he worked, prosecutors said.

On Monday, Mr. Cheng was charged with 50 new counts, including rape, sexual abuse, assault, misdemeanor drug possession and unlawful surveillance, in criminal court in Queens. He pleaded not guilty at his arraignment.

And started hyperventilating for you. Definitely need to get my eyes checked.

Anyway, I'm glad the authorities finally deigned to go after this creep, but it shouldn't have taken the rapes of 50+ women to learn about him.

When will LEOs and the courts start taking rape seriously enough for its victims to feel safe reporting it?

Lock him up for life. He doesn’t deserve to walk free ever again for abusing people who trusted him.

And just like that dirtbag, seems to have kept trophies to revisit his “conquests”.
He would have had at least some access to all kinds of sedating and amnesia-inducing drugs used for gastroenterological procedures.
