Dr. George Tyndall faces 18 felony counts of sexual penetration of an unconscious person along with nine felony counts of sexual battery by fraud.
LOS ANGELES — A former longtime USC campus gynecologist pleaded not guilty Friday to sex-related charges involving 16 patients.
“We’ve been waiting a long time to see justice,” she said, noting that it has been five years since a Los Angeles Times article was published about Tyndall. One of Tyndall’s attorneys, Leonard Levine, countered that many patients were not comfortable with the way Tyndall spoke to them, but said he believed their perception of Tyndall changed to the acts being viewed as “sexual in nature” rather than a standard gynecological examination after a Los Angeles Times article about alleged wrongdoing by the former campus gynecologist.
The woman told the judge that she made it to the center’s lobby before she started to cry and that it “felt wrong,” but she was convinced it couldn’t be wrong because Tyndall was a medical professional. She said she didn’t recall the doctor ever wearing gloves during the examinations and reported what had happened to her after reading a Los Angeles Times article about Tyndall in the spring of 2018, saying it was like a “checklist down the line of things I’d also experienced.”
Another former patient — who said she received a $1.5 million settlement — testified in December 2021 that Tyndall told her that he took photographs of her for “medical research” during an October 2012 examination and did not ask for her consent. She said that there was not a chaperone in the room when the photos were taken and that she felt uncomfortable with Tyndall, whom she described as “staring at me.
In March 2021, attorneys representing hundreds of women who claim they were sexually abused by Tyndall announced an $852 million settlement of lawsuits against the university, describing the resolution as the largest of its type ever against a university.
