‘PERV’ DOCTOR HIT WITH NY’S BIGGEST BAIL

Move over, Madoff. Meet New York’s bail champion.

An allegedly phony Brooklyn doctor accused of sexually abusing patients while they were under anesthesia has the dubious distinction of having the highest bail in the land: either $11 million cash or a virtually impossible $33 million bail bond.

No exact records exist, but several experts say Michail Sorodsky’s bond is the highest they have ever heard of.

“You know what they’re basically telling him?” said one. “Screw you. You’re not getting out.”

Attorney General Andrew Cuomo said Sorodsky, 62, was practicing without a license since at least 1995, administering “treatments” out of his Emmons Avenue office in Sheepshead Bay that may have been harmful, and sexually abusing at least eight female patients.

When he was first charged, in 2008, Judge Cassandra Mullen set a more modest $1 million cash or $3 million bond.

Another judge, Gustin Reichbach, reduced it to $500,000 bond if the alleged perv wore a monitoring bracelet.

“I got a call from the bracelet company numerous times that the bracelet had been tampered with,” said the bail bondsman, Ira Judelson. The original conditions were restored.

Then, last month, prosecutors, having found additional victims, brought a new slew of charges and opened a separate case.

At the re-arraignment, Justice Vincent Del Giudice set $10 million cash or $30 million bond on the new case, which added to the original bail comes to $11 million cash or $33 million bond.

His astronomical bail tops even that of such high-flying fraudsters as Tyco CEO Dennis Kozlowski, who was tried in state court, and Ponzi king Bernard Madoff, who was charged federally. Each put up $10 million of his own cash.
