As reported on CBS4 in Denver, as well in the Loveland Herald Reporter
A psychologist who had been on professional probation for alleged contact with a patient turned himself in Wednesday after being accused of having sex with developmentally disabled women under his care, authorities said.
Donald Ellsworth Fish, 66, faces three felony counts of unlawful sexual contact of an at-risk adult, and three misdemeanor counts of sexual assault on a client by a psychotherapist, Fort Collins police spokeswoman Rita Davis said.
An investigation began Feb. 7 when two 43-year-old women told Loveland police that Fish sexually assaulted them during therapy sessions in their home, Davis said.
A 31-year-old woman made a similar complaint to the Larimer County sheriff's deputies on Feb. 23. Fort Collins police on March 3 received a report about a 57-year-old woman who reported inappropriate touching to the Colorado Department of Human Services.
The phone number for Fish's Fort Collins office had been disconnected and messages left by the Colordoan at his home phone Wednesday were not returned.
Fish was released from the jail after posting a $50,000 property bond. His next court date was not immediately available.
Fish has been a licensed psychologist in Colorado for nearly 30 years. According to records from the State Board of Psychologist Examiners, his license was on probation from July 1995 to April 1999 after a complaint was lodged against him alleging he engaged in sexual conduct with a patient.
