Gay Conversion Therapist Found Guilty of Sexually Abusing Male Patients

A gay conversion therapist has been found guilty of sexually assaulting two of his male patients, according to Ontario’s medical regulator. As first reported by the Toronto Star, the decision by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario came earlier this month. In the course of the investigation, two patients testified that Dr Melvyn Iscove used mutual masturbation as part of his therapy, conducted oral sex on them, and had anal sex with one in his Toronto office. The scandal has left many wondering why gay conversion therapy hasn’t been banned in Canada.
