The death of a physician who was arrested the week before in connection with an investigation into a case of sexual assault on a juvenile has been reported by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. The physician was taken into jail in connection with the investigation for the previous week. John Magaldi, who was 61 years old at the time of his death, was discovered dead in Litchfield, according to the office of the medical examiner, which recorded the specifics of the discovery. Magaldi’s body was discovered in Litchfield.
A recent arrest was made by the Meriden Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation in connection with an organization that is involved in sexual offenses committed by male adolescents. There is a warrant for Magaldi’s arrest that has been issued. He was a physician who worked for Hartford HealthCare, where he had recently been placed on leave, according to the firm.
He had been placed on leave very recently. During the operation to investigate child sexual abuse, Magaldi was charged with criminal attempt at danger of injury, sexual contact victim under the age of 16, criminal attempt at second-degree sexual assault, criminal attempt at commercial sexual abuse of a minor, and interfering with police.
All of these charges were brought against Magaldi. It was during the course of the investigation that these allegations were presented against Magaldi. Two additional males were taken into custody over the course of the investigation that was being conducted. According to the comments made by the medical examiner, it is now unknown what caused Magaldi’s death and how she went away. This information was provided by the statement. There is a possibility that the autopsy will be carried out when Thursday arrives. There is a strong possibility that this will take place. In light of the fact that he was taken into custody on suspicion of sexually exploiting children, Hartford (Conn.) HealthCare has made the decision to place a rheumatology leader on administrative leave.
In addition to two other individuals, John Magaldi, MD, who is the chief of rheumatology at the Bone & Joint Institute at Hartford Hospital, was brought into prison and charged with separate sexual offenses perpetrated against children. These acts were committed against minors. Together, the Meriden (Connecticut) Police Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the New Haven (Connecticut) State Attorney’s Office worked together to carry out the operation that ultimately led to the arrests. The objective of the operation was to “take enforcement against individuals that were seeking sexual activity with children,” as stated in a statement that was published on the Facebook page of the Meriden Police Department on March 12 by the department.
The bond for Dr. Magaldi, who is 61 years old, was set at $350,000, and he was freed from jail in advance of his court appearance on March 22. The allegations that have been made against him include an attempt to commit sexual assault in the second degree, an attempt to commit illegal sexual contact with a victim under the age of sixteen, an attempt to commit commercial sex abuse with a juvenile, and an attempt to tamper with an officer. All of these charges are related to the same incident. According to the information that can be found on the website of Hartford HealthCare, Dr. Magaldi is also associated with the Hartford HealthCare Medical Group, Charlotte Hungerford Hospital, which is situated in Torrington, Connecticut, and Integrated Care Partners, which is the clinical integration organization that is led by physicians and serves the system.
Additionally, on March 22nd, Francisco Carrero, who is fifty years old, and Wilson Suarez, who is twenty-eight years old, are due to appear in court. At the moment, there is no information available regarding their professions. When Becker’s reached out to Hartford HealthCare on March 12, the organization responded with the following statement: “We are troubled to learn of the arrest, and we take these allegations seriously.” Dr. John Magaldi has been placed on administrative leave as a result of the fact that we lay a significant emphasis on workplace safety.
Additionally, in order to improve our ability to effectively respond to this matter, we are attempting to gather information from the authorities in charge of law enforcement. Due to the fact that this is a legal matter that is still being investigated, we are unable to announce any additional information at this time.
