The University of Southern California has settled a lawsuit with 80 former students — mostly gay and bisexual men — who accused a male doctor of sexual misconduct
FILE - In this May 22, 2018 photo, people enter the University of Southern California's Engemann Student Health Center in Los Angeles. The University of Southern California has settled a lawsuit with 80 former students, mostly gay and bisexual men, who accused a male doctor of sexual misconduct.
Unlike settlements in the cases against Dr. George Tyndall that resulted in payouts over $1 billion and an apology from the school's president, no such disclosures or statements were made by USC in the Kelly case. “There’s no population that’s immune from the reach of the damaging results of sexual misconduct,” Kellogg said. “Here we have this population that is both male and LGBTQ-plus ... and that is really what makes it a unique story, but also a story that I think needs the attention.”
In January 2018, a senior USC administration official complained to the chief health officer that he had been abused by Kelly when he was a student, attorney Kelly Van Aken said. The official came forward because of the Nassar case and conversations he had with this own doctor.He surrendered his license the following year amid an investigation by the state medical board.
“Dr. Kelly was not providing legitimate medical treatment to him but was instead sexually abusing him to further his own prurient desires and/or to discriminate, shame, humiliate, and embarrass him as a result of his sexual orientation,” the lawsuit said.
