The University of California system announced today they will pay nearly 375 million dollars to more than 300 women who said they were sexually abused by UCLA gynecologist James Heaps, bringing a record amount in total payout by a public university to 700 million dollars.
The University has agreed to pay nearly 700 million dollars settlement to Heaps patients, dwarfing a 500 million settlement by Michigan State University in 2018 that was considered the largest by a public university. "Dr, Heaps sexually abused patients for years while UCLA Health put PROFITS over their safety", attorney Jennifer McGrath said in a statement.
Women who brought the lawsuit say UCLA ignored their complaints and DELIBERATELY concealed that happened for decades during examinations at the UCLA student health center, the Ronald Reagan Medical Center or in Heaps campus office.
Do I need to say anymore?
