The lawsuit alleges that the university received a number of complaints about women being sexually harassed during inspections, but that the university did not take any action to protect women.

In June 2019, George Tindall was arrested. When the case came to court, several women had revealed their experience in court. The complainants also alleged that the university was negligent in these incidents. Carol Fort, president of the University of Southern California, said the university regrets the suffering of women and cannot accept the work of a gynecologist who has hurt their feelings.
