"During the final session, respondent(Boylan) commented to K.G.
that if she happened to "graze" his testicles, it would be okay.
It was warm outside and K.G.was hot and sweating. She was
wearing jogging shorts and a tank top. Respondent suggested that
she take her shirt off if she was hot. K.G. did not do so.
Later, during that same massage session, respondent asked K.G to
work in the lower abdomen and thigh region. K.G. told respondent
that she had not been taught to work in that area and had been
taught it was inappropriate to have such contact with a client.
Respondent ridiculed K.G., indicating something to the effect
that it "sounds like a person [referring to K.G.'s trainer] who
is worried and up-tight." (R/T. 11/2/94 37:26.) Respondent
then offered to demonstrate on K.G. how he wanted the massage
done and suggested it would work better if she disrobed.
According to K.G.:
[T]hat was the light switch, two-by-four approach to
me where I thought I was going to be sick, because at
10
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
that point, my denial had to stop. And I feel that if
there was a pivotal point in my relationship with Dr.
Boylan, whether it be in the therapeutic capacity or in
the body work capacity, that that was the first time I
thought that in a serious way this might not only not
be appropriate, but perhaps be sexual." (R.T. 11/2/94
38:23-39:1.)
Respondent demonstrated lightly on her stomach, through her
shirt, how he wanted to be massaged. He was very conservative.
However, when it came time for K.G. to work on respondent, she
felt ill and excused herself from the room. Ultimately she
finished the massage. She left the room when respondent wrote
the check for payment, as she did not feel comfortable being in
the same room with him.
At the following therapy session, K.G. told respondent
that she was uncomfortable and did not wish to continue with the
massage arrangement. Respondent "just said okay" and the session
proceeded. At the next therapy session, respondent related
differently to K.G. He seemed to her to be more distant, aloof.
He did not make eye contact or allow her to speak. He left the
room twice, something he had not done before, and cut off the
session 15 - 20 minutes early. K.G. was so angry about the
session that she stopped on her way home to call respondent from
a telephone booth. She told him she wanted him to stop inviting
her to Harbin Hot Springs and that she no longer felt safe with
him. She felt he was violating boundaries and she did not trust
him. She told him she was angry with how he handled the therapy
session. Respondent then called K.G. after she got home. She
restated her feelings. He raised his voice and told her she was
getting "A-1 therapy," and was just running away from therapy.
K.G. felt respondent was screaming at her. Respondent followed
up with calls to K.G. to schedule additional sessions, but she
did not return his calls."
