USC Students Allege Decades of Abuse by Gynecologist
Many female students at the University of Southern California (USC) have come forward with allegations against Dr. George Tyndall, a gynecologist at the USC student health center from January 1, 1988, to January 1, 2017. The reports of sexual abuse span nearly two decades, with allegations ranging from sexually explicit remarks and unnecessary pelvic exams to groping and inappropriate touching of patients. Some survivors noted that nurses present during these inappropriate exams would leave the room because they felt "uncomfortable," but records show many incidents were not reported by the nurses.
In October 2019, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a law granting victims of Dr. Tyndall’s abuse an additional one-year window to file claims against USC. The law applies to claims seeking over $250,000 and involving allegations of sexual assault or inappropriate behavior during treatment at USC’s student health center. Separate claims can also be filed against USC for failing to investigate or report these incidents.
