The registrant was accused of a campaign of bullying and harassment over the course of 11 years, with 9 specific incidents alleged. The complaint was the sole live witness for the HCPC. Following cross-examination, the HCPC found that the witness was not credible and that each of the individual incidents were not well founded.
