The Discipline Committee held a penalty hearing after finding the Member committed professional misconduct, including sexual abuse of a patient.

The College sought mandatory revocation under the recent amendments to the Health Professions Procedural Code, while the Member argued for a 12-month suspension, asserting the amendments should not apply retrospectively.

The Committee found that the mandatory revocation amendment applied retrospectively because it fell within the public protection exemption.

The Committee ordered the revocation of the Member's certificate, a public reprimand, the posting of $16,060 for the victim's therapy, and $53,500 in costs.

The College brought a motion to stay professional discipline proceedings against the member, who was alleged to have failed to formulate diagnoses, failed to keep proper records, provided acupuncture without informed consent, performed unauthorized controlled acts, and used the protected title of massage therapist.

The member signed an Undertaking and Surrender Agreement, agreeing to surrender his certificate of registration, never practice traditional Chinese medicine or acupuncture again, and pay $3,000 towards investigation costs.

The Discipline Committee found it in the public interest to grant the motion and stayed the proceedings.
