GRAND BLANC (WJRT) - (05/03/17) - A hypnotherapist now stands accused of sexually assaulting a patient.
John Tomlinson has been practicing hypnotherapy for 40 years, and it's at his own practice, in Grand Blanc, where he's accused of sexually assaulting a woman who was apparently hypnotized.
ABC12 News were the only ones in court Wednesday morning when Tomlinson was formally charged. He's accused of sexually assaulting a female patient while she was undergoing hypnotherapy.
It allegedly happened in his office on Holly Road, south of Saginaw, in Grand Blanc Township.
Investigators say when the alleged victim realized what was going on, Tomlinson strangled her to keep her in his office.
For that, he's facing assault and unlawful imprisonment charges.
His attorney, Mike Manley, says Tomlinson absolutely denies this ever happening.
“He is devastated by that he has given his life to helping people, but he understands he is innocent until proven guilty, but we are going to go through the process here in court and we are going to be prepared,” Manley said.
Tomlinson was able to bond out Wednesday morning. He won't be in custody as this case moves through the courts.
At this point, he is still able to practice hypnotherapy.
This is a story we will continue to follow all day today.
