Messing w sexuality.
Wonder if it has any effect on a guy?
What if OH, USA, MI, PA doctors

often struggling 2 accept
their sexuality or
uncomfortable discussing
their sex lives.

"Kelly departed USC in July 2018. Fifty former patients are now suing USC and Kelly, who has maintained that he always treated patients appropriately."
buzzfeednews.com/article/sashau…

"In strikingly consistent accounts, the men who are suing Kelly allege “sexual battery,” “gender violence,” and “sexual harassment.” And they accuse USC of not doing enough to protect them, both through negligence and by concealing claims of sexual abuse and harassment."

Paul lurves some goodbye letters.

"Kelly continued to treat students at nearby California State University, Northridge, as he had for years — and a Cal State Northridge official said that USC never alerted it to any problems about Kelly, or to the fact that he had resigned."
buzzfeednews.com/article/sashau…

"Only when the first lawsuit was lodged against Kelly and USC — seven months after he had departed that institution — did Cal State Northridge halt his interactions with students and place him on paid administrative leave."

buzzfeednews.com/article/sashau…

Oh Dear.
*Gurl in silky bathrobe *fluster.

"At his home in Santa Monica a short walk from the beach, Kelly, wearing a pinstripe bathrobe, declined to be interviewed. “This is all very traumatic to me,” he told a reporter before asking him to leave."
buzzfeednews.com/article/sashau…

"USC's guarded response has led some faculty members and editorial writers to accuse USC’s leadership of a disturbing pattern of stonewalling, in which the university ignores or actively hides problems until forced to respond.
buzzfeednews.com/article/sashau…

"The school’s medical school dean was another such case: After complaints about Carmen Puliafito's drinking, a woman overdosed while with him in a hotel room, where police found methamphetamine."

USC gave dean
$875,000 severance
+ let him resign quietly.

“USC treats litigation as an excuse for a level of secrecy that is not necessary,” said Ariela Gross, a law professor
“The university is not just a party in a lawsuit. The university is an educational community that owes something to all of its members.”
buzzfeednews.com/article/sashau…

"Others have lambasted USC’s recent decision to hire a lobbying firm to oppose a California state bill that would temporarily extend the statute of limitations for people who’ve experienced sexual abuse in student health centers.

In an interview, the plaintiff known in court papers as John Doe 3 called the move a “calculated decision to continue this cloak of secrecy.”

"USC is being rep'ed by
same law firm
Fraser Watson & Croutch
who is defending Dr. Kelly.

Neither USC nor law firm
responded 2 questions as 2 whether
USC paying 4 Kelly’s defense.
CA law requires employers 2 pay 4
legal defense of employees
sued 4 carrying out their duties."

"Documents obtained exclusively by
Beacon Project
show 17 years ago,
ANOTHER major CA university,
UCLA
severed ties w Kelly thru a
confidential settlement."
documentcloud.org/documents/6223…

"Public records show
Kelly had accused UCLA
of retaliating against him
4 union activities,🤦‍♂️
+ excerpt from an employee evaluation
describing him as
“unhappy + dissatisfied” at work."

"Settlement bound
UCLA + Kelly 2 secrecy:
Neither party could make
“any derogatory or disparaging statements
2 any other person
or 3rd parties
about each other”
+ UCLA
could not tell future employers
anything about Kelly
except 2 confirm his
title, pay, dates of employ at UCLA"

Just 1 mo after signing settlement agree,
Kelly, who had already been wrkng at USC
on hrly basis 4 5 yrs,
was hired on staff there.
Mo later,
landed pt job at Cal State Northridge.
While also funded by state of CA,
Cal State Northridge
prt of an ed system
sep from UC system.

In all,
Kelly has treated young men
at 3 of CA’s lrgst unis,
which currently have
combined student pop
of > 130,000.

Taken as a whole,
the men’s allegations describe
harrowing + consistent pattern
of abuse by Kelly.

USC negligent.

buzzfeednews.com/article/sashau…

Appt nearly always began
w interrogation N2
young man’s sexual history.
Using crude terms such as
“dick,” “pussy,” + “asshole,”
Kelly asked patient ?s
w no medical purpose:
Where did they have sex?
Did they watch porn?
What dating apps did they use?
What race were their partners?

"Kelly’s ?s, the men say,
were often followed by
instruction 2 undress.
Kelly did not turn around
or leave room
as men took off their clothes,
they said,
and he almost never told patients
Y they needed exam
he was about to give,
or that they could decline it."

This is Dark.

"As young men waited
on examination table
on their hands + knees,
facing wall,
Kelly would examine them,
usually in complete silence.
He would insert his fingers
or device N2 their rectums
almost always w/out warning
+ keep it inside them
4 up 2 several minutes."

"Kelly occasionally told patients
he was testing them 4 prostate health,
but American Urological Association
does not recommend
routine prostate cancer screening
4 men under 40,
+ most of Kelly’s patients
were students
in their twenties or late teens."📌
buzzfeednews.com/article/sashau…

1 patient has said he felt so violated by rectal exam
he fell N2 emotional tailspin
lasting > 2 yrs,
in which he gained 70 pounds
+ his grades plunged.

5 men, in crt docs say
they cried during or after their exam,
+ at least 13 said
they avoided health cntr after seeing Kelly.

Another recalls Kelly
administering rectal probe
+ leaning down 2 ask
how often his partners came inside him.
“And after that, it’s a blackout.
I don’t even remember leaving his office;
I don’t remember how I got home.
I was just shocked by
how creepy it was,
whole situation.”

John Doe 10
speaks.

"Vividly remembers
what happened
in exam room.

Kelly said he needed 2
check student’s prostate health,
even though student said
he had no symptoms.
Kelly told John Doe 10
2 pull down his pants + underwear
+ get on his hands + knees[?]
on top of exam table.

John Doe 10

Kelly did not turn around
or leave room
while man undressed.

Kelly inserted finger N2 his rectum
+ placed pressure on his prostate
until his penis released fluid,
which Kelly collected onto
“some sort of a slide.”
Kelly said fluid would B
sent 2 lab 4 “testing."

John Doe 10
cont 2 see Kelly
“bc he was only Dr.
that specialized in men’s health”
but
“he always made me feel
really uncomfortable,
and I always felt like
he was creepy.”

When he
read about
Larry Nassar victims
who wrkd MSU student health center,
he decided to take action.

*Note:

Like the Catholic Archdiocese,
USC does not keep records
'from that far back',
1999|2000 ish.
as is the case.

On 2-27-17,
1st-yr student saw Kelly
4 STD + HIV screening.
Kelly started asking ?s
“about my sex life,
which I understood bc,
u know,
sexual health doctor.”
But Kelly kept pressing 4 details.
“It was just very uncomfortable.”

Kelly was “rude entire time.”

Now Sr at USC
Kelly takes him
N2 exam rm.

Student said
he has since had other
STD screenings +
Kelly “did things other Drs haven’t,”
things that were “intrusive.”

“I don’t really want 2 go N2 detail.”

Mos later, he told
Kelby Accardi-Harrison,
dir USC’s LGBT Resource Cntr

Nothing happened.
4 > yr,
student said,
he did not receive
any communication at all
from the university
about his complaint.

buzzfeednews.com/article/sashau…

10 days later,
receives email from uni’s
Office of Conduct, Accountability, + Professionalism.
Msg thnkd him 4 his complaint
+ directed him 2 webpage
w counseling + support services.
That pg mentions
Tyndall, OBGYN
abuse of 100s of patients,
but even now
does not mention Kelly.

Mo. later,
while away on spring break,
student recv'd voicemail from
LAPD sex crimes detective,
Ninette Toosbuy,
who is now Sr investigator
4 USC’s accountability office.
In that VM,
Toosbuy identifies as investigator
+ asks student 2 contact her.
