Many women accused the site of Los Angeles University (UCLA) intentionally hiding the Hump of ‘alleged sexual abuse of patients.

Weaps based at the UCLA student health center during a 35-year career between 1983 and 2018.

Hundreds of women, some of them suffer from cancer, said they were harassed by him.

The university did not begin investigating complaints against Mr. Hears until 2017. It was accused of hundreds of lawsuits deliberately hiding alleged gynecologists on patients.

The university said hoping financial settlement would provide “healing and closing” for the women involved.

Mr Heap face 21 crimes of sexual harassment of seven women and begged innocent.

“The behavior that is thought to have been carried out by despicable stacks and contrary to university values,” said UCLA statement on Tuesday. “Our first and highest obligations will always be the community we serve, and we hope this settlement is one step to provide healing and closure for the plaintiff involved.”

But Kara Caagle, a breast cancer victim who reported a stack when he was undergoing treatment at the university, told Los Angeles Times: “Today, after eight years long, I received recognition of what happened to me.

“Even though there are some consolation in that case, my heart breaks for all those who are not spared, all women who suffer after me, because UCLA refused to act.”

Tuesday’s settlement did not stop the ongoing lawsuit by more than 300 patients.

Last July, a federal judge approved the completion of $ 73 million against Mr. Mr, which was brought more than 5,500 women.

According to lawyers in this case, he was the highest paid doctor at all the University of the California system.

John C Manley, a lawyer who represents one of the women who filed a criminal charges against Wears, accused him of being a sophisticated predator who harassed the normal medical examination.

“He is a Certified Gynecologist Board and a Certified ONCOLOGY expert. Most women … are there because they have cancer or they think they have cancer,” said Manley BBC.

Federal demands said that Mr. Mr was not well investigated until the university received complaints in 2017, and that he was allowed to continue to see patients during an investigation into his actions, and even after the university told him that his contract would not be extended.

The latest payment follows a series of major settlement with US universities for patient harassment by campus doctors.
