Nicole Haynes USC’s doctor scandal
Column: USC’s doctor scandal awoke a horrific memory. Now Nicole Haynes fights for the truth
Trojans track career when everything slowed down.
She had signed into the Engemann Student Health Center because she was suffering severe stomach pains along with vomiting and diarrhea. She was ushered to an examining table, where her legs were immediately placed in stirrups.
“I had never had a gynecological exam,” she recalled, “so I figured this is what they do for terrible stomach pains.”
The attending doctor extensively examined her vagina. She had never experienced anything like it. She was a virgin. She was scared.
“He was poking me in places I had never been poked before,” she said. “I was just like, ‘Get this over with.’ ”
The extensive and invasive exam was completed with the most basic diagnosis. The doctor said she had food poisoning and sent her home without even a prescription.
“I was thinking, ‘All that for that?’ ” she said. “Did I really need that kind of exam? It didn’t sit well with my spirit. I felt very violated.”
Twenty-three years after that 1995 incident, Nicole Haynes, now in media sales, remembered one more thing. She saw a photo in a Los Angeles Times story last spring about numerous sexual abuse allegations against a campus gynecologist. She saw that same man on ensuing television reports. It was the doctor who she said gave her the exam that made her feel uncomfortable.
“I saw his face, I knew that face, I’ll never forget that face,” she said, her voice rising. “It was George Tyndall.”
A Times investigation last year revealed that Tyndall had been accused of sexually abusing hundreds of USC students for nearly 30 years in his role as the school’s lone full-time staff gynecologist. The series detailed how complaints of abusive behavior were lodged beginning in the 1990s, yet Tyndall was allowed to continue practicing until 2016.
The stories led to local, state and federal investigations, including the Los Angeles Police Department’s largest sex crimes investigation of a single subject.
What has not yet occurred, according to Haynes in a recent interview, is justice.
Tyndall has denied all wrongdoing. There have been no charges filed against him. And now Haynes is suing her beloved school in an effort to uncover the truth.
USC has negotiated a proposed $215-million class-action settlement with a group of plaintiff’s attorneys that would guarantee payouts of at least $2,500 to every student who was examined by Tyndall for women’s healthcare from 1989 to 2016. Haynes is part of a group of about 650 women who are challenging the settlement for its lack of transparency and accountability and are suing USC in state court.
“That settlement is ridiculous,’’ she said. “Absolutely ridiculous.”
Although the school has hired an outside law firm to conduct an investigation into Tyndall, it is unclear whether those results will be shared with the alleged victims. Haynes is upset that the settlement won’t give them their day in court.
“USC is fully aware that this situation has happened, but they don’t want to deal with it or the repercussions that come with it,” Haynes said. “They don’t want to hear our stories, they don’t want to deal with why they allowed this man to continue to work here for nearly 30 years knowing he had been abusing all these students.”
Mike Arias, an attorney who represents 160 plaintiffs in Haynes’ lawsuit, said the haste and limited scope of the settlement were stunning.
”I’ve been doing this sort of work for 30-plus years, and I’ve never seen a settlement so quickly,” Arias said. “USC has made it very clear they don’t want to have to relive this on their side. But so many women want to know what happened. And they have the right to know what happened.”
Haynes, who competed as a heptathlete from 1992 to 1996 and won the then-Pac-10 championships in her senior season, did not tell anybody about her strange visit with Tyndall for years.
“I was used to bottling things up,’’ she said. “I was taught, there are things that will happen to you in your life, you need to stay focused and push through and keep it moving.”
But then once she saw his photo last May — “I’m like, ‘That’s the dude!’ ” — she didn’t hold back.
She first called a friend who is a doctor to confirm that physicians don’t do gynecological exams for food poisoning.
“He started laughing and was like, ‘What are you talking about? No!’ ” she recalled. “And I’m like, ‘Oh my gosh.’ ”
Several months earlier, she had been watching the chilling televised accounts of the victim statements in the trial of convicted serial child molester Larry Nassar, a former USA Gymnastics team doctor and Michigan State physician.
“I realized, that’s what this dude did to me,’’ she recalled. “I was walking with those girls. I was literally one of them.” She soon realized, unlike in the Nassar case, there was no public reckoning yet here.

Former USC track star joins women alleging misconduct by gynecologist Dr. George Tyndall
LOS ANGELES (KABC) — In 1996, track and field star Nicole Haynes was at the top of her game.
That year she would win gold for the heptathlon in the Pac-10 Championships.
It was also during that time that she met USC gynecologist Dr. George Tyndall.
“I grew up pretty healthy so there are very few occasions where I remember feeling very sick but this one sticks out in my mind,” Haynes said.
At the time, Haynes went to her university medical center.
She says she vividly remembering having extreme stomach pains.
She recalls being placed in a waiting room, and Dr. Tyndall coming in to ask her what was wrong.
Haynes said, “I was in a lot of pain. I just wanted to get to the bottom. So anything he would’ve said to me at that point, I was willing to do. Take your clothes off, lay on the table, put your legs in stirrups, I was like OK. Just find out. I just need this pain to stop.”
But, she says instead of checking what was wrong with her stomach he did something else.
“He went ahead and examined my vaginal area. I just remember it was overly painful, at the time I was still a virgin.” Haynes said.
“In addition to the pain I was going through, it was just very traumatic. Extremely traumatic and after I got done with the exam I was like – where is my script, and what do I need?
And he’s like ‘oh no, you just have food poisoning. Go home, it’ll pass.’ And I was like… what?”
Haynes says she never told anyone explicitly what happened that day, but her roommate at the time remembers Haynes coming back from the doctor’s appointment upset.
When we spoke to her former roommate she also said she remembers that time clearly, because Haynes never got sick or went to the doctor.
Haynes’ story is now among hundreds of women who are making sexual misconduct claims against the doctor.
She didn’t file a police report because of the statute of limitations. But the LA District Attorney’s office says they’ve received 102 police reports from other people.
Tyndall’s lawyers said to us in a statement that: “Dr. Tyndall continues to deny engaging in any unlawful conduct while a gynecologist at USC.”
Tyndall worked at USC for three decades. Beginning in the 1990s, several complaints were made against him, but no action was taken until a USC investigation last year.
USC has now agreed to a $215 million settlement over a class-action federal lawsuit, but attorneys suing on the state level are challenging the decision.
They believe the settlement essentially shields Tyndall and the administrators who allegedly didn’t take appropriate action after initial complaints.
Attorney Mike Arias, the managing partner with Arias, Sanguinetti Wang & Torrijos, represents Haynes and other plaintiffs in this lawsuit.
“They don’t want this information to come out; they don’t want me taking the deposition of numerous people at USC to find out what they did and what they didn’t do,” Arias said. “So you get a class action settlement done.”
Women who are confirmed class members and agree to the settlement will be eligible for financial compensation, starting at $2,500 and up to $250,000 for those who provide more details about their alleged experience.
Haynes says there’s no way she’ll ever settle with Tyndall and hopes other women will also step forward.
“I would like to face Dr. Tyndall. He violated me. And he needs to know that this is not OK. And me and the rest of the victims will not stand for this,” Haynes said.
Representatives for USC gave us a statement which says in part: “We’re looking forward to bringing resolution to this difficult experience in a manner that respects the dignity of all of those impacted and helps us take another important step in healing our community.”
