Pharmacy assistant accused of having sex with hypnotized woman, state revokes license

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — State health officials have permanently revoked the license of a Benton County pharmacy assistant who was accused of having sex with a woman he hypnotized.

Kevin Geyer is an amateur hypnotist and is accused of hypnotizing a woman in his home last year before having sex with her.

The Tri-City Herald reports that Geyer pleaded guilty earlier this month in Benton County Superior Court to fourth-degree assault with sexual motivation.

The Herald says Geyer was sentenced to 364 days in jail, but the judge suspended that sentence on the condition that he undergo a evaluations and treatment.

The Department of Health revoked his pharmacy license on Tuesday.
