Fifteen women have filed a lawsuit against Dr. John C. Hoefs, alleging he forced them to expose their breasts and groped them during treatment.
The lawsuit claims that Hoag Memorial Hospital and UCI Medical Center ignored numerous complaints about Hoefs' misconduct since 2017, perpetuating the abuse.
Hoefs faces 20 felony counts of sexual battery and could face over two decades in prison if convicted, stemming from incidents dating back to 2006.
The Medical Board of California has prohibited Hoefs from contacting any patients following complaints about his inappropriate conduct, indicating systemic issues in oversight.
