Dr. James Heaps, a former gynecologist at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), was sentenced to 11 years in prison on Wednesday for sexually abusing female patients. Heaps had pleaded not guilty to 21 felony counts in the sexual assaults of seven women between 2009 and 2018, and was ordered to register as a sex offender. The case has prompted the university to make nearly $700 million in lawsuit payouts and to create a new Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion to better protect students.
