Wisconsin therapist charged with sexual exploitation of a client

A Wisconsin ex-therapist is charged with felony exploitation of a client who reported for counseling sessions as part of a court-ordered treatment for alcohol and drug addiction.

The female victim, who had been getting alcohol and drug treatment through the county's Drug Treatment Court, said she and Daul would engage in sexual acts about three to five times a week at Daul’s office after therapy sessions, often putting a "do not disturb" sign on the door, according to the criminal complaint obtained by Fox 6. The acts also transitioned to each of their homes. 

According to the criminal complaint, a witness, who had known the victim for about five years, and at one point was the victim's drug therapy sponsor, told investigators she was worried Daul was changing the victim’s treatment plans as a way of "manipulating or influencing" her.
