blondeozichick: maybe the evidence was dodgy or he was told to plead guilty cos she had him by the short and curlies and he would never win anyway

was it proven he beat his wife badly were there mitigating circumstances?

but yeah I agree if he did do it.. then his identity shouldnt be protected and he certainly shouldnt be allowed to continue to practice if he is a risk to his clients in anyway however.. a flip side to that is..

if he is innocent and was 'set up' by chance say cos he broke with his wife and she got vindictive or she could have had an affair and her lover beat the crap out of her and her hubby found out and *breathe* said he was leaving and she said she would say he beat her if he left and he didnt listen and left and *breathe*.. then it would sure suck if his name was ruined for something that never happened

and..

a lot of cousellors or some of the best cousellors anyway have either been victims or in some cases perpetrators (ex drug addicts for example) at some point in their lives.. and it does allow them to show real empathy (as opposed to sympathy) which clients appreciate knowing their counsellor does indeed 'get it' *breathe*. .which is why the encourage people with a prior dodgy history to become counsellors now I need a wine
