From the LA Times: Disgraced ex-UCLA gynecologist James Heaps was sentenced to 11 years in prison Wednesday, nearly two years after he was indicted for sexually abusing his patients while working at the university. Heaps, 66, has been in custody since October, when a jury found him guilty of three counts of sexual battery by fraud and two counts of sexual penetration of two patients.
Heaps, a retired cancer specialist, appeared in a Burbank courtroom Wednesday wearing an orange prison jumpsuit, neat goatee and glasses. He did not testify or make any statements after he was sentenced by Judge Michael D. Carter...

...UC created a "captive" insurance company for various risks and a status report was presented. It was noted that the UCLA-Heaps case created a cash flow issue for the university because UC carried the entire risk. There were repeated references to the "profit" the captive insurance company accrued excluding Heaps. But, of course, you can't exclude Heaps if you are talking about risk; it happened. So, it's not clear why you would exclude it. The question is, was UC better off - given all actual events - with its captive approach than it would have been if it relied on the commercial insurance market. The response was that it is difficult to obtain sexual misconduct insurance commercially. Whether it is impossible, however, is the question. And it was not fully answered.
