A former UCLA gynecologist was arrested Monday afternoon on charges of sexual battery and sexual exploitation related to two patients he treated in 2017 and 2018. Dr.
James Heaps worked in the student health center from 1983 to 2010, and was hired at UCLA Health in 2014. He also held staff privileges at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center from 1988 to 2018,to an announcement issued by the university.
“Last year, in response to allegations of sexual misconduct against Dr. Heaps, UCLA investigated his conduct, removed him from clinical practice, informed him that his employment was being terminated and reported him to the Medical Board of California and law enforcement.”“Sexual abuse in any form is unacceptable and represents an inexcusable breach of the physician-patient relationship.
Tracy Green, Heaps’s attorney, said the women who alleged the abuse were patients at his clinic, but not students. Charges were filed against Heaps on May 22, and he turned himself in on Monday. He has pleaded not guilty.
