However, no autopsy will be\u2063 conducted as the Los Angeles Police Department has classified it as\u200d a natural death.<\/p>\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/us\/gynecologist-who-abused-around-245-women-receives-prison-sentence-5427878?<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/jacob-siegel-on-disinformation-the-hoax-of-the-century-part-1\/\" title=\"Jacob Siegel discusses disinformation and refers to it as the 'Hoax of the Century' in Part 1.\">ea_src=author_manual&#038;ea_med=related_stories<\/a>&#8220;><strong>Gynecologist Who Abused Around 245 Women Receives\u2064 Prison\u200c Sentence<\/strong><\/a>  &#8211; 7\/27\/2023<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/us\/ex-ucla-gynecologist-found-guilty-of-5-sex-related-charges-acquitted-of-7-others-4812528?ea_src=author_manual&#038;ea_med=related_stories\"><strong>Ex-UCLA Gynecologist Found \u2062Guilty of 5\u200d Sex-Related Charges, Acquitted of 7 Others<\/strong><\/a>  &#8211; 10\/21\/2022<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Tyndall&#8217;s defense team plans to seek the dismissal\u2063 of the case once his death certificate becomes available.\u200c The former \u200dgynecologist had\u200c been ordered\u200d to stand trial on 18 felony counts of sexual\u200c penetration of an unconscious person and\u2063 nine felony counts \u200bof sexual battery \u200dby \u200bfraud. The alleged crimes took place between 2009 and 2016, with the victims seeking medical treatment at USC&#8217;s student \u200chealth center.<\/p>\n<p>While some charges involving other women \u2064were dismissed, Tyndall&#8217;s death means he \u200cwill never face his victims in\u200b a criminal\u200c trial. Attorney Gloria Allred, who represented some of the alleged victims in a civil lawsuit, expressed shock at the news \u2062and \u2062stated that many victims had\u2064 hoped to provide victim \u2062impact statements during the trial.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the pending trial, Tyndall&#8217;s defense team had been advocating for his release from electronic monitoring and a reduction in his bail. They argued \u2062that he posed no threat and had been confined to his home for an extended\u2062 period.<\/p>\n<p>The allegations against Tyndall came to light in a 2016 Los Angeles Times article,\u200c which led to\u2062 an \u200cinvestigation and subsequent lawsuits.\u200b In March \u200b2021,\u2064 USC reached an \u2064$852 million settlement with hundreds of women who claimed they were sexually abused by Tyndall, making it the largest settlement of its kind against a university.<\/p>\n<p>While USC has denied allegations \u200bof a\u2063 cover-up,\u200c they have implemented \u200dnew protocols at their student\u2064 health\u2063 center and made efforts to address the issue. USC President Carol Folt\u200c expressed her apologies and hopes that the settlement brings some relief to\u2063 the victims.<\/p>\n<p>George Tyndall surrendered his medical\u2063 license \u2064in September 2019.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How did USC initially respond to the allegations against Tyndall?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  -usc-gynecologist-arrested-on-multiple-sexual-assault-allegations-5423481?ea_src=author_manual&#038;ea_med=related_stories&#8221;><strong>USC Gynecologist Arrested on Multiple Sexual Assault Allegations<\/strong><\/a>  \u2063- 7\/15\/2023<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Tyndall&#8217;s \u2062death comes after a long and tumultuous legal battle surrounding his alleged sexual\u200c misconduct. Beginning in \u20632018,\u2064 numerous lawsuits were \u2064filed against him by hundreds of \u200bwomen who claimed they had been subjected to\u200b \u2062inappropriate touching, lewd \u2062comments, and other forms of \u200csexual abuse during their gynecological exams at USC. The allegations spanned decades, with some \u2062victims claiming the abuse occurred as far back as the early 1990s.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the shocking number of victims and the severity of \u200cthe allegations,\u200b it was not \u200duntil 2018 that the public learned of the allegations against Tyndall.\u2063 A Los Angeles Times article brought attention to the issue, prompting an investigation by the university and \u2064law enforcement agencies.<\/p>\n<p>According to the lawsuits, Tyndall would often make derogatory comments about the women&#8217;s bodies, use his fingers inappropriately during exams, and take explicit photographs of the patients. Many of the victims felt violated\u2063 and traumatized by these experiences.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2062case against Tyndall has been\u200c marred by controversy. Initially, the university attempted to handle the matter internally, conducting its own investigation and allowing Tyndall to continue practicing while under investigation. This decision\u200c sparked outrage \u2064among \u200bthe survivors and the wider \u200bpublic, \u200bas it seemingly prioritized protecting the university&#8217;s reputation over the well-being of the victims.<\/p>\n<p>The scandal eventually led to a federal investigation, multiple lawsuits, and years of legal battles. \u2062In 2019,\u200c USC agreed to pay a settlement of $215 million to the victims, one of the largest financial payouts in a sexual abuse\u2064 case involving a university.<\/p>\n<p>Tyndall was arrested in 2019 and was charged with 29 counts of \u200bsexual misconduct\u200d against 16 women. He pleaded\u200c not guilty to all charges \u200cand had been awaiting trial since then.<\/p>\n<p>His unexpected death raises questions\u200b about the \u2063future of the legal proceedings against him. With\u200c his passing, \u200cthe survivors may never see \u200dtheir alleged abuser face the consequences of\u200d his actions\u200b in \u2062a court of law. This outcome has understandably left many victims and their supporters feeling frustrated and denied justice.<\/p>\n<p>The news \u200cof Tyndall&#8217;s demise has also sparked discussion about accountability in cases of sexual misconduct and the need for institutions to take swift and decisive action to\u2062 protect their students and employees. Many have criticized USC&#8217;s initial response to \u200cthe allegations and argue that it failed to adequately address the issue and support the victims.<\/p>\n<p>The death of\u200c George Tyndall brings a tragic\u200d end to a disturbing chapter in USC&#8217;s history.
