BOSTON (WBZ NewsRadio) — A former rheumatologist at Brigham & Women's Hospital in Boston is facing 81 new sexual assault charges.
Derrick Todd pleaded not guilty to the charges in Suffolk Superior Court on Thursday.
He was released without bail on personal recognizance and ordered to wear a GPS monitor.
The judge also ordered Todd to obey a curfew from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. each day.
He's been ordered to stay away from patients who made the accusations.
Todd was already facing multiple rape and assault charges in Middlesex County.
He has now been charged with more than 100 sexual assault allegations, as well as facing over 200 lawsuits from former patients who allege he sexually molested them while performing exams at Brigham & Women's and Faulkner Hospital.
Brigham & Women's fired him in 2023 amid the sexual assault charges that started more than a decade ago.
Prosecutors said Todd is also accused of making crude sexual remarks while touching patients.
Todd's lawyer said his client is innocent until proven guilty and is looking forward to challenging the accusations.
The trial is expected to begin in May 2027.
