When Connecticut attorney Ira S. Mayo allegedly offered to waive a client's fees in exchange for a naked back rub, he triggered an investigation that seems to have jeopardized his law license over an encounter with a woman.

In order to resume his practice in 2007, Mayo had agreed not to be alone with women in his office.
