Prison Psychiatrist accused of Sexual Misconduct

A prison psychiatrist who allegedly asked a man to obtain an erection during an office visit and then rewarded his efforts with $10 and a bottle of Coke is being accused of sexual misconduct with a patient by the Medical Board of California.

Robert Clayton Bright Jr. of Pasadena was issued his license in October 1997, and worked in the L.A. County Men's Central Jail when the incident took place, according to the May 24 accusation. Bright is accused of misconduct with Preston S., an inmate who was acting in an undercover capacity and having his conversation electronically recorded by the L.A. County Sheriff's Department during a June 6, 2003, visit with Bright, the accusation said. Bright's attorney, Carl Simons, denies all allegations against his client.
