The issues in this case are whether Respondent engaged in sexual misconduct in the practice of chiropractic medicine, in violation of section 460.412, Florida Statutes; and, if so, what is the appropriate sanction.Provocative or consensual actions on part of patient not a defense for chiropractor who engaged in sexual activity with patient. Serious nature of offense and failure to show rehabilitation or remorse warranted revocation of license.
