Thirty more women stepped forward in a new lawsuit alleging sexual misconduct by George Tyndall on Wednesday, according to court records. They join over 200 existing complaints of sexual misconduct against the former USC gynecologist.
In this newest lawsuit, Tyndall is charged with 14 counts, including sexual abuse, harassment in an educational setting, sexual battery, and negligence. The lawsuit also contains testimonies from victims’ encounters with Tyndall — lewd comments on their bodies, race, and sexual activity in almost every instance.
Police found a stash of pornography and photographs of nude women in Tyndall’s storage unit this past December. They are still determining if any of the pictures include the women who filed these new complaints and if any of the photos took place at USC, according to the Los Angeles Times.
A class action suit for $215 million proposed late last year was rejected as victims could only receive $2,500 each, according to the press release from the offices of Manly, Stewart, and Finaldi, which accompanied the lawsuit. Instead, victims are filing complaints individually.
The offices of Manly, Stewart, and Finaldi are representing these 30 new complaints, bringing the total number of women they are representing to 177, according to Stu Mollrich, a senior attorney at the firm. The offices of Allred, Maroko, and Goldberg are also representing several women who Tyndall allegedly abused.
Tyndall has continued to deny misconduct in interviews with the Los Angeles Times.
USC did not reply in time for comment.
