Despite the findings made against him on Aug. 5, including sexual abuse of a patient, Beairsto can continue with his job pending a penalty hearing — the dates for which have yet to be set. He denied the allegations before the discipline committee. The complainant in the case, known only as Patient A due to a publication ban, saw Beairsto between 1997 and 2012, mainly for psychotherapy. He deliberately touched and stroked Patient A’s buttocks as she prepared to leave after a psychotherapy session. He told Patient A several times that she would make “a good lover,” which the committee said was unprofessional.
