Industry = Law
Press Release Summary = The child psychiatrist engaged in kissing, fondling, masturbation and oral sex with one female patient in his office.
Press Release Body = Three separate lawsuits by three different women for sexual assault have now been filed in the Supreme Court of British Columbia against psychiatrist, Dr. Richard Golden.
The child psychiatrist was stripped of his license to practice and labeled a sexual predator by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia last month after finding him guilty of sexual relations with three teenage female patients between 2000 and 2005.
One patient was 15 and two were 17 when they began seeing Golden for certain difficulties in life.
The psychiatrist masturbated, kissed, fondled, and had oral sex with one of his female patients in his office.
In another case, the psychiatrist asked his patient if she was a virgin, asked her to say things about her underwear and asked her questions of her sexual activities.
Ordinary citizens would be charged: Why not psychiatrists? This question is being asked by the Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR), who want criminal charges pressed against the psychiatrist and are insisting too that Golden be placed on the sexual offender's registry to protect society's children from harm. The complaint process carried out by various medical boards and colleges have been thwarted, in part, by the belief that psychiatrists are somehow above the law and beyond reproach. However, evidence indicates that women are at very great risk of being sexually assaulted while in a psychiatrist\'s office.
A recent Google search, reveled that more than 60 psychiatrists world wide have either been criminally convicted or lost their license to practice due to sexual relations with patients over the past year and a half. Brian Beaumont, spokesperson for the British Columbia chapter of the Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR), said "Psychiatric sexual assault is a very common occurrence over the world, but all too often the perpetrator is only slapped on the wrist by being given a fine or suspension from practice for these criminal activities". The Citizens Commission on Human Rights was established by the Church of Scientology to investigate and expose psychiatric violations of human rights.
