If you take a look at the Maryland Board of Counselors and therapists you will find the COMAR Ethic Standards/codes. Code 10.58.03.09.htm deals with sexual misconduct and reads: A. A counselor may not engage in sexual misconduct with a client or supervisee. Sexual misconduct includes but is not limited to:1) Inappropriate sexual language;. 2) Sexual exploitation;. 3) Sexual harassment;. 4) Sexual behavior; and. 5) Therapeutic deception.. B. Concurrent Sexual Relationships. A counselor may not engage in either consensual or forced sexual behavior with:1) A client;. 2) A student or supervisee over whom the counselor.
What is the sense in having all of these codes if they don't do anything about it? Make it a crime and make the people that break these rules/codes/ethics go to prison where they belong.
