MIAMI (WSVN) - A Miami psychotherapist appeared before a judge on Wednesday after allegations arose surrounding sexual misconduct with his patients.
Thirty-three-year-old Manuel Enrique Garcia was arrested Tuesday after two women came out and said he engaged in inappropriate sexual conduct with them while under his care. Both victims, allegedly, were then threatened by Garcia should they come forward.
Wednesday afternoon, Miami Police said a third victim gave a statement in which she detailed how she was also sexually assaulted by the suspect.
According to officers, the attacks happened at a women’s mental health and substance abuse facility near Northeast 49th Street and First Avenue in Miami, where he worked.
Several other women at the facility corroborated the statements, describing consistent acts of inappropriate behavior.
Garcia was taken into custody at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in West Miami-Dade and charged with three counts of engaging in sex with a client.
He has since been granted a $30,000 bond.
