A married physiotherapist who had sex with a much younger patient has been censured and fined by a disciplinary tribunal. But the man won't be suspended despite the tribunal hearing he poses a risk to other women. The North Island physio, whose name is suppressed, faced disciplinary action for engaging in conduct bringing discredit to his profession. Director of proceedings lawyer Rachael Schmidt-McCleave argued the physio's registration should be suspended for at least six months and he should attend courses in ethics and the management of professional boundaries. After the session the pair messaged each other, before, 12 hours later, they had sex at the woman's home.
