71-year-old ex-gynaecologist in court for bonking 16 female students, other women

A 71-year-old former gynaecologist is currently standing trial for sexually abusing 16 female students and several other women.

Dr. George Tyndall — was accused of sexual abuse and harassment by hundreds of women last year; and was finally arrested Wednesday following an 18-month investigation.

He is facing over 50 years in prison after being charged with 18 counts of sexual penetration and 11 counts of sexual battery. His charges stem from the alleged assaults of 16 women at USC’s campus health center, but many more claim to have been victims.

The LAPD and Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, which handled the probe, announced his charges in a press release and ensuing press conference.

“Dr. Tyndall committed horrible crimes against his female patients for many years,” said attorney David Ring, who represents dozens of Tyndall’s accusers.

“He thought he had gotten away with it,” the lawyer told The Post. “But, with his arrest today, he finally has to face the reality of spending many years in prison.”

The disgraced gynaecologist allegedly preyed on female students “for decades,” according to lawyers representing his accusers — many of whom banded together to file class-action lawsuits against both him and USC last year.

A federal judge granted preliminary approval earlier this month for a landmark $215 million settlement in one of the cases, which USC has reportedly agreed to pay.

The alleged harassment and misconduct — which included forced touching and making “vulgar and demeaning” comments about students’ genitalia — occurred between 2009 and 2016, according to the criminal complaint.

Tyndall allegedly “committed an act of sexual penetration” against a young woman in April 2016 who was “unconscious of the nature of the act,” the complaint says.

“Victim was not aware, knowing, perceiving, or cognizant of the essential characteristics of the act due to [Tyndall’s] fraudulent representation that the sexual penetration served a professional purpose when it served no professional purpose, and this being known to [Tyndall],” the complaint adds.

Tyndall allegedly did this several times before being forced out of USC’s Engemann Student Health Center, according to prosecutors.

An internal investigation by USC found that there was evidence of his alleged harassment and misconduct, and the embattled physician stepped down soon after.

“Tyndall is nothing more than a predator,” Ring seethed, “who tried to disguise himself as a doctor.”

The accusers that Ring represents filed police reports against Tyndall and also spoke with the district attorney’s office before his arrest Wednesday. Countless others reportedly came forward as well.

“The survivors are looking forward to the courts finally delivering justice and holding Tyndall accountable for years of abuse,” said attorney John Manly, who represents more than 150 patients, in a statement.

Tyndall has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and is expected to plead not guilty.

“After one year of being tried in the press, Dr. Tyndall looks forward to finally having his case adjudicated in a court of law,” his lawyer, Leonard Levine, said in a statement. “He remains adamant he will then be totally exonerated.”

Tyndall’s legal team plans to argue that his actions were medically appropriate and within the standards of California law. More than 700 women have filed individual civil lawsuits against him and USC in state court, claiming the school allowed him to practice despite there being numerous allegations of misconduct against him.

“We are very much looking forward to adjudicating this case in a courtroom because of this character assassination,” said Andrew Flier, another one of Tyndall’s attorneys. “We’re going to be able to punch some serious holes in all these allegations.”
