A former Merrick pediatrician whom a Nassau court ordered to pay $1.6 billion to 104 women he allegedly sexually abused as children hasn’t paid a dollar of the judgments against him, three years after the court’s first financial award, lawyers for the women said.

"He was a predator and got away with it for so many years, and to a certain extent, I feel he’s still getting away with it, because he never had to go to jail and he’s never had to pay up," said Jeanna Salgado, who won a $32 million judgment.
