New Jersey Superior Court OKs Psychiatrist's License Revocation

A panel of state Superior Court judges ruled that the license of accused sexual predator and Princeton-area psychiatrist Dr. Don Henry Wijaya should be revoked. Wijaya had been accused of having sex with a female patient identified only as F.B. from shortly after he began treating the divorced mother of two in 1981 until 1984, and again from July 1993 to August 1994. Wijaya disputed that, but an administrative law judge who heard the case "determined that the charges were supported by credible evidence and recommended revocation" of his license.

The ruling by a three-judge panel in the Superior Court appellate division affirms the decision of the New Jersey State Board of Medical Examiners, the body that regulates doctors. The board revoked to Wijaya's license in March 2002, but the appellate division issued a stay allowing Wijaya to continue practicing while his appeal proceeded.

The doctor's lawyer said he will appeal.
