Dr. Mack Douglas Lyons was booked into the Fort Payne (Alabama) city jail last night on four charges of sexual abuse and harassment against his female patients. He was arrested in Gadsen, where there were no charges as of yet, according to police.
According to WHNT-TV (Huntsville, AL):
He did operate a part-time clinic in Fort Payne last year, which is where the charges stem from. Fort Payne Police say their investigation begin in October of 2006, when a victim told them Dr. Lyons had sexually abused her at his office at 1526 Gault Avenue. Three other women also came forward.
Lyons is being held on $20,000 bond. The sexual abuse charges are felonies, and the harassment charges are misdemeanors.
The Fort Payne office is now closed, and there is a link to Alabama's Board Of Examiners In Counseling.
