Tennessee Sexual Misconduct By Professionals Attorneys
Malpractice Attorneys
SEXUAL MISCONDUCT BY A PROFESSIONAL. Sexual misconduct occurs when a professional such as a psychiatrist, psychologist, physician, minister, or attorney uses their position of trust to manipulate sex with someone emotionally dependent upon them and who is in a professional relationship with them. It can be a one time event or it can continue over a long period of time.
The impact on the victim (and their families) because of this abuse of trust can be devastating. Injuries from this type of conduct can include significant debilitating emotional injuries that require years and years of treatment. This type of misconduct can result in divorce, and it can even lead to suicide. Perpetrators of this type of wrongful conduct can be required to pay compensatory damages and they can be assessed punitive damages. They can also be subjected to sanctions, such as disciplinary action, including loss of professional licenses.
