Erasure(struck off the register)
The HCPTS panel ordered David R Nelson to be struck off after finding sexually motivated touching of two yoga participants, lack of consent and a confidentiality breach. An allegation of exposing underwear was not proved, the related sexual-motivation charge was dismissed, and disclosure of test results was not proved. The panel found current impairment, limited insight and a risk of repetition. A separate interim suspension covers the appeal period and any appeal, for a maximum of 18 months.
