The registrant massage therapist pleaded no contest to allegations of sexually abusing a patient, including touching her genitals, breasts, and buttocks without consent.

The Discipline Tribunal found that the registrant committed professional misconduct, including sexual abuse and physical abuse.

Given the nature of the sexual abuse, the Tribunal imposed the mandatory penalty of revocation of the registrant's certificate of registration and a reprimand, along with orders for costs and reimbursement for patient therapy and counselling.

The registrant, a massage therapist, did not contest allegations of professional misconduct including issuing false receipts, creating false treatment notes, and facilitating cheating on the College's certification exam by soliciting and distributing actual exam questions.

The registrant resigned from the profession and undertook never to reapply.

The Tribunal found the registrant committed professional misconduct.

Accepting a joint submission, the Tribunal ordered a reprimand and costs of $65,319.36 payable in installments, noting that revocation was unnecessary given the registrant's resignation and undertaking.
