At least 22 other women have stepped forward alleging that Dr. James Heaps sexually assaulted them.
A cancer patient says UCLA gynecologist James Heaps sexually assaulted her during her two years of treatment. She has sued him and UCLA.
During four visits that stretch to June 2017, the woman alleges Heaps abused his position of trust to improperly touch her clitoris repeatedly, fondle her breasts and squeeze her nipples — all under the guise of medical examination. Last week, Heaps pleaded not guilty to the criminal charges of sexual battery during his treatment of two patients at a university facility. His attorney, Tracy Green, said Heaps was a “respected, talented and thorough gynecological oncologist” whose treatment was always medically necessary and done with respect for patients.
In addition, about 75 people have contacted UCLA about Heaps since the university announced that Los Angeles County prosecutors had filed charges last week.
