UCLA Settles an Abuse Suit For More Than $100 Million
The University of California has agreed to pay more than $100 million to settle allegations that several hundred women were sexually abused by a former UCLA gynecologist, lawyers announced.
The settlement was announced Monday by some of the attorneys representing 203 women who said they were groped or otherwise abused by Dr. James Heaps over a 35-year career. Details weren’t released.
The suit said that the university ignored decades of complaints and deliberately concealed abuse.
