A former gynecologist at the University of Southern California accused of sexually abusing hundreds of women was found dead in his home Wednesday.
A former gynecologist at the University of Southern California at the center of $1 billion in university payouts as a result of sexual abuse allegations by hundreds of women, died Wednesday. The Associated Press reported that 76-year-old George Tyndall’s attorney, Leonard Levine, confirmed the former medical professional’s death Thursday. Tyndall was awaiting trial on over two dozen criminal misconduct charges that allegedly occurred between 2009 and 2016 at USC’s student health center.
He’s always maintained his innocence,' Levine said. Tyndall faced 35 counts of alleged sexual misconduct, which had been reduced to 27, as reported by the Los Angeles Times, and included 18 counts of sexual penetration of an unconscious person and 9 counts of sexual battery by fraud. The charges are from 16 former patients of his at the campus student health center.
Accusations against Tyndall surfaced in 2018 after an investigation by the LA Times, which revealed the doctor was the subject of complaints of sexual misconduct at USC going back to the 1990s. In 2016, he was suspended by the university after a nurse reported him to a rape crisis center. He quietly resigned and received a large payout the next year.
