The registrant, a massage therapist, admitted to professional misconduct for inappropriately touching a patient's gluteal and pubic areas without written consent and failing to appropriately address her distress.

The Discipline Tribunal found that he contravened College standards, physically abused the patient, and engaged in disgraceful, dishonourable, or unprofessional conduct.

The Tribunal accepted a joint submission on penalty, ordering a reprimand, an eight-month suspension, remedial coursework, and costs of $5,852.
