5th woman accuses ex-UCLA gynecologist of sexual battery

A fifth woman has accused a retired University of California, Los Angeles gynecologist of sexually abusing her.

The lawsuit, filed Friday, accuses Dr. James Heaps of sexual battery, negligence and civil rights violations.

Heaps, 62, has been criminally charged with two counts of sexual battery by fraud involving two of those women. He pleaded not guilty on Monday. The woman's lawyer, Jennifer McGrath, said Heaps allegedly made"commentary about her intimate body parts" with"no possible medical necessity." Heaps' attorney, Tracy Green, denied the allegations and said the new lawsuit"exaggerated, misconstrued the whole purpose of the exam."
