Former USC Gynecologist George Tyndall Arrested By LAPD

Longtime former USC gynecologist Dr. George Tyndall, who is accused of molesting hundreds of patients over a period of several decades, has been arrested.

Los Angeles police confirmed to CBS2 Wednesday that the 71-year-old Tyndall was taken into custody. There was no immediate word on the charges he faces. A news conference was scheduled for 4 p.m.

Tyndall served as the only full-time gynecologist at the USC Engemann Student Health Center for nearly 30 years. In 2016, the school began investigating him over allegations of improper pelvic exams and making racist and sexually inappropriate remarks. Former colleagues had questioned his methods of pelvic exams, specifically, his practice of digital insertion before using a speculum.

Numerous women have stated Tyndall watched them undress and proceeded to violate them during pelvic exams. read more »
