More than 50 cases are currently being investigated. According to the allegations, USC ignored warnings from students about the doctor for nearly 40 years.<\/p>\n<p>Allegations against the doctor suggest that he made sexually-charged comments towards patients during examinations. In other cases, women reported being physically assaulted by the doctor. Although the doctor claims there was nothing unprofessional about his actions, USC\u2019s internal investigation concluded that his behavior during exams was \u201coutside the scope of current medical practice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>USC allowed to doctor to continue practicing until 2016, when a nurse reported him to a campus rape crisis center. Campus administrators allowed the doctor to resign last summer.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the number of allegations against the doctor, USC may have to pay tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars to settle lawsuits. As of June 24, 15 lawsuits have been filed against USC.
