Representative Jerome Richard, from Thibodaux is putting forth House Bill No. 215 which would criminalize psychotherapists having sexual relationships with clients. Punishment is set as imprisonment of not more than 10 years, fines not more that $10,000, or both. With “therapeutic deception” punishments are higher.
HB 215 is similar to a bill proposed in the 2013 legislative session but that stalled in committee.
