A Yankton doctor has been found guilty of having sex with a patient.
Dwight F. King was charged last spring with 15 counts of sexual penetration by a psychotherapist.
Authorities say two patients were involved.
As part of a plea agreement, King plead no contest to one count of having sex with a patient at his home in May of 2005. A plea of no contest has the same effect as pleading guilty.
Sentencing has been set for October 3rd.
King who is free on bond primarily practiced at the Yankton Medical Clinic, but he also saw patients at Avera Sacred Heart Hospital The neurologist and psychiatrist was medical director at the hospital's rehabilitation center.
Documenting Psychiatrists Behaving Badly

We post stories with links to the original sources. We couldn't make this stuff up if we wanted to. My Name is Sickmind Fraud.
