Yes, California is one of those states. The psychiatrist in my case committed a felony. He was arrested. But the Deputy Attorney General decided not to prosecute the case because he didn't feel there was enough proof to win a case against him.

That's where I learned that it doesn't matter in court who is right or who is wrong- it's about what you can prove.

There were seven women who reported him. Only three of us came forward to help prosecute him criminally. I could identify certain aspects of parts of his anatomy that I shouldn't have been able to see....but the DAG would not prosecute.

I will always wonder if the prosecuting attorney didn't think we were credible witnesses because we were "psych patients." Could have also been about PerpPsych having a close relative being an attorney. I don't know.
