A Seattle psychologist was arrested last week on suspicion of voyeurism after a videotape of a woman using his office bathroom was found in his VCR, according to police.
The psychologist has long been an expert witness in child-custody cases, as well as a consultant for the Archdiocese of Seattle in sexual-abuse cases. He is listed as a clinical assistant professor at the University of Washington in the department of psychology. He has spoken at national psychology conferences and was president of the American Board of Forensic Psychology.
The Times is not naming the man because he has not been charged with a crime.
According to a police report, an acquaintance told the victim that he found a videotape of the psychologist's office bathroom in the psychologist's VCR. The victim later found the camera recording device in the psychologist's office. Police viewed the videotape and confirmed that the woman was on the tape.
The psychologist has had at least three complaints filed against him since 1998 with the state Department of Health. One was over alleged questionable conduct, a second on alleged unprofessional standard of care and a third was a fee dispute. All three were closed prior to investigation.
The two conduct-related complaints were closed after it was determined the alleged conduct was "not a violation of law," according to Department of Health records.
He was booked into King County Jail on July 3 and conditionally released two days later.
The psychologist couldn't be reached this morning for comment.
