Ex-UCLA gynecologist James Heaps sentenced to 11 years for sexual abuse
Dr. James Heaps, a former obstetrician-gynecologist at UCLA, has been sentenced to 11 years in prison for sexually abusing female patients over the course of a 35-year career. He was convicted of three counts of sexual battery by fraud and two counts of sexual penetration of an unconscious person. Heaps, who denied the charges, will appeal the sentence. The case has cost UCLA about $700 million in settlements to over 200 women who alleged sexual misconduct.
