What Is Currently Happening in This Case?

There are several recent developments in this fast-moving case:

  • Around 300 women have called a hotline set up by USC with claims that Dr. Tyndall engaged in sexual misconduct during their exams;
  • As of May 2018, 52 women have accused Dr. Tyndall of sexual abuse;
  • Multiple women have filed legal claims;
  • Approximately 200 professors asked for the university president to resign under allegations that USC covered up the abuse; and
  • The lawsuits report that the misconduct goes back to as early as the 1990s.

Why Was Dr. Tyndall Allowed to Continue Treating Students for so Long?

In the case of Dr. Tyndall, coworkers cited his actions as unethical and inappropriate for several years. Many of the chaperones and medical assistants that accompanied Dr. Tyndall witnessed his unethical practices every day.

Once notified of his actions, USC failed to act accordingly and allowed him to continue seeing patients. Dr. Tyndall has defended his actions, stating that his methods were within the realm of accepted professional OB/GYN practices. Several medical experts, however, have refuted his claims, by saying that practices like photographing the pelvic area, asking students to undress fully, and specific hand movements are not acceptable.

Because the university allowed Dr. Tyndall to continue to practice despite complaints about his behavior, USC might be liable for his abuse.

What Are the Current Charges Against Dr. Tyndall?

The Los Angeles Police Department is currently investigating whether Dr. Tyndall committed criminal violations, including his practice of taking photos of his patients’ pelvic areas.

Other allegations against Dr. Tyndall  say he:

  • Touched women inappropriately during pelvic exams;
  • Performed pelvic exams without using gloves or proper instruments;
  • Made specific movements with his hands that are considered unnecessary in the medical field;
  • Made women lie naked on an exam table;
  • Made sexually suggestive remarks about his patients’ bodies;
  • Made racial comments about African Americans and Latinos; and
  • Performed inappropriate pelvic exams.
