Facts: WC received a secondary complaint regarding allegations of sexual conduct with a former patient. The evidence presented included text messages, social media posts and app screen shots regarding WC and patient’s alleged sexual activity.
Outcome: After WC retained counsel the firm provided a response to the allegations. The firm argued that the evidence was insufficient and unauthenticated. The firm further argued that the witnesses were unreliable and therefore not credible. BON proposed a disciplinary order with minimal CE requirements. BON agreed to modify the findings of facts within the order to state that WC denied the allegations and the order was approved.
