Sicko NYC doctor who filmed himself groping sedated patients raping drugged women learns fate at sentencing

A sicko Queens doctor who filmed himself groping sedated patients and raping drugged women he met online was sentenced on Thursday to 24 years in prison — but some of his victims argue the punishment was not grave enough.

Zhi Alan Cheng, 35, a former gastroenterologist at New York-Presbyterian Queens, was sentenced after he was convicted of four counts of first-degree rape and three counts of first-degree sexual abuse, according to a press release from the Queens District Attorney’s Office.

Cheng pleaded guilty to the heinous sex crimes in June. In exchange for the guilty plea, the DA’s office agreed to drop predatory sex assault charges, sparing him a maximum life in prison sentence, according to NBC4.
