George Tyndall, the gynecologist accused of sexual misconduct toward hundreds of USC students, was arrested Wednesday and charged with committing more than two dozen felonies at the campus clinic where he practiced for decades.
The physician was taken into custody at 7:45 a.m. as he exited his apartment in a high-rise near Lafayette Park. Los Angeles police said he was carrying a loaded .38-caliber handgun, a concealed weapon for which they said he did not have a permit. Immediately after detectives approached him, the 72-year-old began complaining of chest pains and was driven to L.A. County-USC Medical Center for treatment. He remained there Wednesday evening.
Mizuno, who graduated in May, said that as the investigation dragged on, she worried that Tyndall would never face criminal consequences. Investigators had to consult experts to understand how the gynecologist’s behavior differed from legitimate care, she said. Haynes, who saw Tyndall at the clinic in 1995, said she felt confident the 16 women in the criminal case would represent an entire generation of women treated by the gynecologist.The Times revealed in May 2018 thatof numerous complaints from female students and staff over his tenure at USC.
Interim USC President Wanda Austin, who took over after the Tyndall scandal forced C.L. Max Nikias from the leadership post, welcomed the charges against the doctor.
