Charles D. Morgan, 62, of Neenah, charged Monday in Winnebago County Circuit Court, faces a maximum penalty of 12½ years in prison and a $25,000 fine if convicted.
Morgan is due back in court July 10 for a preliminary hearing to determine if there is sufficient evidence to send the case to trial.
He sexually assaulted a 27-year-old woman, whom he had been treating for bipolar disorder the past two years, according to a criminal complaint.
The woman told police she was admitted to Mercy Medical Center on June 17 to receive electronic convulsive therapy. Morgan came into her room June 18 and gave her hug.
She said he came into her room again on June 19, kissed her and told her he did it "because I like you." Morgan kissed the woman again on June 20 and told her she needed to keep it confidential, the complaint said.
The woman told Morgan she wanted a different psychiatrist on June 21. Morgan arranged to meet the woman at his Oshkosh office once she was discharged from the hospital.
At the office, the woman and Morgan were sitting on a couch when he began kissing her and having inappropriate sexual contact with her, the complaint said.
