A psychotherapist charged a vulnerable patient $200 an hour for therapy – then made him have sexual intercourse with her, police say.
Johanna Lee Lamm, 43, reportedly spent between around eight months months taking advantage of the man after he visited her clinic in Minnetonka, Minnesota.
Lamm’s alleged abuse was uncovered in August, after she called police to say the unnamed man had sexually assaulted her.
The shrink told gave cops her phone, and claimed the man would say they were having a consensual affair.
Police officers subsequently spoke to the man, who said he and Lamm been having a sexual relationship over several months.
He also handed over his phone, which contained text messages and audio recordings which are said to back up his claims, Fox9 reported.
Lamm was subsequently charged with felony criminal sexual conduct, with a charge sheet saying that ‘the sexual penetration occurred during the psychotherapy session.’
She faces criminal action because her unnamed alleged victim has been described as a ‘vulnerable adult’ by the Minnesota Department of Human Services.
During a police interview, she is said to have admitted having a consensual sexual relationship with the man, and withdrew her claims that she had been assaulted.
Lamm is currently being held at Hennepin County Jail in lieu of $100,00 bail, and had her first court appearance on Tuesday.
If convicted of the charge she faces she could be jailed for up to 15 years and fined between $10,000 and $30,000.
Her website boasts that during sessions she will ‘listen with compassion and offer my observations, insights, or simply my reflective silence.’
