George Tyndall is an American gynecologist who gained notoriety due to allegations of sexual misconduct during his tenure at the University of Southern California (USC). Tyndall worked at the university's student health center for nearly three decades before the allegations came to light.

Career

Tyndall began his career as a gynecologist and was employed at the University of Southern California's student health center. Over the years, he conducted thousands of examinations on female students. His role was to provide routine gynecological care, including Pap smears, pelvic exams, and other reproductive health services.

Allegations and Investigations

In 2018, multiple allegations of sexual misconduct were made against Tyndall by former patients. These allegations included inappropriate comments, improper touching, and other forms of sexual abuse. The accusations led to a significant investigation by both the university and law enforcement agencies.

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) launched an investigation into the claims, and Tyndall's medical license was suspended. The university faced criticism for its handling of the complaints, with many accusing USC of failing to act on earlier reports of misconduct.

Legal Proceedings

Following the allegations, numerous lawsuits were filed against Tyndall and USC. The university eventually reached settlements with many of the victims. In 2019, Tyndall was arrested and charged with multiple counts of sexual assault. The legal proceedings are ongoing, and Tyndall has denied all allegations of wrongdoing.

Impact

The case has had a significant impact on the university and has led to changes in how USC handles reports of sexual misconduct. The scandal also prompted broader discussions about the responsibilities of educational institutions in protecting students from abuse.
