campus gynecologist who was convicted of sex-related charges involving two patients was sentenced Wednesday to 11 years in prison and ordered to register as a sex offender.
The judge rejected the defense's argument that Heaps does not present a flight risk and intended to show up for his sentencing at the Burbank courthouse, where Carter was transferred after the trial. Deputy District Attorney Danette Meyers countered that Heaps' conduct "was severe and it was substantial," saying he had a great impetus to flee.The prosecutor called arguments about Heaps' medical conditions "just a ploy as I see it to get the defendant out."
At one time, he was reportedly the highest paid physician in the UC system and had treated about 6,000 patients, attorneys said. The settlement came on top of a $243.6 million resolution of lawsuits involving about 200 patients announced in February 2022, and a $73 million settlement of federal lawsuits previously reached involving roughly 5,500 plaintiffs.
