Yuma, Ariz. – The traveling doctor sentenced to three years in prison for filming women during gynecological exams at YRMC is now heading to trial.
David Lincoln Thorson was sentenced last July on six counts of secretly photographing women in January of 2010.
Two women not involved in that sentencing have since been included in this case.
YRMC has said Thorson was not employed by the hospital, but instead, only provided services through a temp agency, Southwest Emergency Physicians.
That agency, along with YRMC and Vista Staffing Solutions out of Salt Lake City, Utah are also accused of failing to determine Thorson was properly licensed.

YUMA, Ariz. – The doctor accused of recording and photographing several women in Yuma during gynecological exams pleaded guilty in court Friday.
David Thorson will serve three years in prison for the six counts against him. He has been credited for the 208 days he’s already served.
One victim was present Friday in Yuma Superior Court.
A representative spoke on behalf of all of the victims, saying they have been psychologically affected by the doctor’s actions.
The incidents happened in January 2010 at Yuma Regional Medical Center. At the time Thorson was a traveling doctor.
Thorson admitted to placing a recording device in the front pocket of his shirt.
