A New York Jury Hears Closing Arguments at a Neurologist’s Sex Crimes Trial
A New York City jury was asked Tuesday to consider whether a neurologist used his thriving pain-management practice to sexually prey on six patients or if he is a victim of accusers with false stories.
The case against Dr. Ricardo Cruciani relied on “survivor stories of six very different women,” assistant District Attorney Shannon Lucey said in closing arguments at Cruciani’s trial.
“This is a trial about a doctor who raped, sodomized, hugged and manipulated his patients,” Lucey said.
