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.

The College of Massage Therapists of Ontario alleged that the registrant committed professional misconduct by sexually abusing a patient, falsifying an academic record, and breaching professional boundaries.

The registrant, who was also the patient's massage therapy instructor, admitted to the allegations in an Agreed Statement of Facts.

The Discipline Tribunal found the registrant committed professional misconduct.

Accepting a joint submission on penalty, the Tribunal ordered the mandatory revocation of the registrant's certificate of registration, a public reprimand, reimbursement of up to $17,940 for patient therapy funding, and $5,110 in costs.
