USC agrees to $852 million payout in sex abuse lawsuit

 

https://www.centredaily.com/news/business/article250212095.html

 

he University of Southern California has agreed to an $852 million settlement with more than 700 women who have accused the college’s longtime campus gynecologist of sexual abuse, the victims’ lawyers and USC announced Thursday.

 

It’s believed to be a record amount for such a lawsuit. When combined with an earlier settlement of a separate class-action suit and other, smaller state court settlements, USC has agreed to pay out more than $1 billion for claims against Dr. George Tyndall, who worked at the school for nearly three decades.

 

Tyndall, 74, faces 35 criminal counts of alleged sexual misconduct between 2009 and 2016 at the university’s student health center. He has pleaded not guilty and is free on bond.

 

Hundreds of women came forward to report their allegations to police but some of the cases fell outside the 10-year criminal statute of limitations, while others did not rise to the level of charges or lacked sufficient evidence to prosecute. Still, he faces up to 64 years in prison if convicted.

California Will No Longer Jail People Just Because They’re Poor

 

In a major ruling, the state’s Supreme Court just ended bail for the indigent.

In a ruling likely to transform the bail system of the nation’s largest state, the California Supreme Court held today that courts must weigh a defendant’s finances in setting bail. “Conditioning freedom solely on whether an arrestee can afford bail,” Justice Mariano-Florentino Cuéllar wrote in the court’s unanimous decision, “is unconstitutional.”

The Reason One Blood Type Might Be More Prone To COVID Infection

With the COVID-19 pandemic still underway in 2021, experts continue to conduct research to further understand and combat the worldwide outbreak. With the virus disproportionately affecting various populations such as the elderly, those with pre-existing health conditions, and communities of color, a recent study conducted by Harvard University and the Oklahoma Blood Institute (OBI) found that those with blood type A are also among those populations more susceptible to contracting COVID-19 (via News 19).

 

John Armitage, M.D., of the OBI states that beginning last year, OBI had begun offering antibody testing to those wanting to donate blood to the center. Testing showed the presence of COVID-19 antibodies in the majority of donors with either blood type A or AB. Conversely, donors with blood type O were found to have the least amount of antibodies present. These findings indicate that those with A or AB blood types seem to have higher rates of COVID-19 infection.

 

Studies indicate those with blood type A may be more prone to COVID-19 infection than those with blood type O

 

As described by Dr. Armitage, medical experts believe that the reason these individuals may be more high-risk is due to the fact that those with blood type A possess cells in their respiratory system that offer a "sticky environment" for the virus to more easily attach to (via The Jerusalem Post). He further explains, "The As have a substance very similar to their A blood group that's lining their lungs and their bronchi and respiratory tract."

 

This research aligns with studies conducted in late 2020 published in Blood Advances by the American Society of Hematology. The research indicated that those with blood type O were least likely to contract the COVID-19 virus and were less likely to experience critical outcomes such as organ failure, or the need for dialysis or ventilation than those with blood types A, B, or AB (via Science Daily). 

 

It's important to note that while these studies propose a potential link between blood type and COVID-19, it cannot yet be confirmed as the sole cause of infection. Further research is still needed to rule out other potential variables as experts anticipate that results are likely to vary across different countries and ethnic groups.

The two Ukrainian natives were arrested in April 2019 after arriving in the U.S. to discuss the sales of future illegal drug shipments. They have been and will remain in custody while they await a transfer to a Federal Bureau of Prisons facility, which is yet to be determined.
