Los Angeles County has reached a $4 billion agreement to settle nearly 7,000 claims of sexual abuse in juvenile facilities since 1959.

The former University of Southern California gynecologist charged with sexually more than a dozen students and accused of abuse by hundreds more has died.

The University of Southern California has settled a lawsuit with 80 former students — mostly gay and bisexual men — who accused a male doctor of sexual misconduct.

Ad“I am deeply sorry for the pain experienced by these valued members of the USC community," USC President Carol L. Folt said in a statement. Separately, USC earlier agreed to pay $215 million to settle a class-action lawsuit that applies to about 18,000 women who were patients of Tyndall’s. The individual payouts to those victims range from $2,500 to $250,000, and were given regardless of whether the women formally accused Tyndall of harassment or assault.

(CNN) - George Tyndall, a former university gynecologist who's facing 29 counts of sex crimes, has surrendered his medical license, the Medical Board of California said. Tyndall was a gynecologist at the University of Southern California for almost 30 years, until he was fired in 2017. He's accused of inappropriately touching 16 patients during his work at USC's campus health clinic. The medical board said Tyndall's license was surrendered effective last Thursday. Tyndall faces 18 counts of sexual assault and 11 counts of sexual battery.

Some of the cases fell outside the 10-year statute of limitations, while others did not rise to the level of criminal charges or lacked sufficient evidence to prosecute. Allred said she is representing two of the 16 women in the criminal case but would not say if Mohazab is one of them. Another college gynecologist, Dr. James Heaps, formerly of the University of California, Los Angeles, is facing charges of sexual misconduct involving two patents. In Tyndall's case, prosecutors say 16 patients ranging from 17 to 29 were abused during visits to the student health center for annual exams or other treatment. Tyndall is charged with 29 felonies, including 18 counts of sexual penetration and 11 counts of sexual battery by fraud.

Tyndall, who was fired in 2017, has denied allegations of wrongdoing, which were also included in a class-action lawsuit against the university. Tyndall, 72, will also face 11 counts of sexual battery by fraud, the district attorney's office said in announcing the charges. The criminal complaint alleges Tyndall, who worked at the university's student health center, inappropriately touched 16 women between 2009 and 2016. The complaint alleges that Tyndall told some of the women the touching was for a professional purpose when it was for sexual gratification. A university lawyer told CNN last year that as many as 17,000 women could qualify for the class action settlement.
