Former UCLA campus gynecologist Dr. James Heaps faces more than 20 years in prison after he was convicted of sex-related charges involving two patients.
campus gynecologist who was convicted of sex-related charges involving two patients is scheduled to be sentenced Tuesday.
Heaps was acquitted of three counts each of sexual penetration of an unconscious person and sexual battery by fraud, and one count of sexual exploitation of a patient -- with those charges involving two other patients. "He intends to be here," one of his attorneys, Tracy Green, said then of Heaps. "... He isn't going anywhere. ... He's not the type of person to run away from his problems."
The judge said at the hearing in February that he still found Heaps "to be a danger to the community," adding that he did not find any dramatic change of circumstances since October to warrant granting him bail. More than 500 lawsuits were filed against Heaps and UCLA, accusing the school of failing to protect patients after becoming aware of the misconduct.
The lawsuits alleged that UCLA actively and deliberately concealed Heaps' sexual abuse of patients. UCLA continued to allow Heaps to have unfettered sexual access to female patients -- many of whom were cancer patients -- at the university, plaintiffs' attorneys alleged in the lawsuits.
