A 23-year-old woman reached a $1.8 million settlement in Lehigh Common Pleas Court last week over the sexual contact she had with her unlicensed psychotherapist and the allegedly negligent oversight the psychotherapist’s supervisors provided over the relationship.
Plaintiff Alyssa Thatcher’s attorneys said that she may be able to recover up to another $2 million because two of the defendants assigned their rights they have against their insurers in the accords Thatcher struck, respectively, with her former therapist, as well as with one of the therapist’s alleged supervisors.
