A Cookeville psychiatrist who had an office in Crossville has been indicted by the Cumberland County Grand Jury on two counts of statutory rape by an authority figure, according to the Cumberland County Sheriff's Department.
Dr. Chip Hayward Fountain, 44, was indicted by the grand jury on May 6 after "a thorough investigation" by the Department of Children's Services, District Attorney General's Office and the sheriff's department. Fountain surrendered to authorities at the Justice Center on May 27.
A press release states that Fountain, who in addition to Cookeville and Crossville, had an office in Livingston, is accused of "being sexually involved with a former juvenile female patient."
Bond was set at $15,000 and Fountain is scheduled to appear for arraignment in Cumberland County Criminal Court on June 2, according to Investigator Jeff Slayton's release.
Fountain graduated from Texas Tech University Health Service Center School for Medicine in the late 1990s.

Dr. Fountain is innocent.
There's not a chance in HELL that he would ever do something like that. I've known Dr. Fountain since I was about 14 years old. My name is Sahvanna Clark, I'm 20 years old,
I live in Jamestown, TN and these accusations are a bunch of
BULL SHIT.
