Pattern of Filing False Complaints with Government
Agencies and Police.
1.) In approximately July 2000 Bruce Whealton filed a compliant alleging
that I was practicing psychology without a license in North Carolina with
the North Carolina Psychology Board. On Oct 2nd, 2001 I received notification
that the case was dropped as a direct result of the Boards investigator finding
the allegation was “without merit and unfounded”. Erica H. Wise Ph.D
Chair, (NCPB) is who notified me, the Consumer Protection Division, Office
of the Attorney General of NC that the case filed against me by Bruce Whealton
was dropped.
2.) In approximately September 2000 Bruce Whealton filed a compliant with
the North Carolina Medical Board alleging that I was practicing psychiatry
over the Internet and dispensing medication over the Internet without a license
to do so. On May 3rd, 2001 I was notified by Jason H. Ward, Investigator
for the Medical Board, that the case against me was dropped because there
was “no evidence to support the claim” and “no other colaborating testimony
from anyone other than Bruce Whealton which could not be substantiated.”
3.) In approximately October, 2001 Bruce Whealton filed complaints of Cyber
Stalking and Telephone harassment against me with the Wilmington Police Dept.
I appeared in court as directed by the Citation, plead not guilty, a court
date was set. On that court date I appeared in court, with 2 parties
to testify in my behalf and documentation to show the court what these allegations
center around. Bruce Whealton did not show up in court to support his
accusations against me and the case was dismissed.
4.) On September 25th 2002, Bruce Whealton sent in a report to Lt. P. M.
Williamson of the Wilmington Police Department, stating he had been “raped,
and urinated on” by me on September 8th, 2000. He seemingly did this
to justify how his sperm ended up on one of his former clients bed sheets,
and to create a form of hardship for me at the same time since he holds me
responsible for his having lost his license to practice psychotherapy as
a Social Worker in the State of North Carolina. I am sure the Lt. he
report this outragous claim to is wondering how the sheet only has his sperm
on it and no trace of urine. Doesn't take a rocket scienist to realize
they are being lied to. I have called Lt. Williamson, letting him know
that I would make myself completely available to him and was willing to undergo
a polygraph test. It is obvious at this time Lt. Williamson has no
intention of filing charges against me based on what Bruce Whealton allegations
are.
5.) On September 29th, 2002 Bruce Whealton filed a compliant with Durham
NC magstrates office alleging Cyber Stalking and Telephone harassment.
A warrant was issued and upon my discovering this, I went to the Wilmington
Police station to be served. While at the magistrates office I was
informed that I have enough documentation to support a charge against Bruce
Whealton of filing false reports to both the police and to government agencies.
I was also informed that what he has been doing consitutes Harassment,
for which he could also be charged. I intend to appear in court in
Durham and present this documentation and ask the presiding judge to charge
him accordingly. Should the judge reccommend I take it to the DA's
office for filing I will do so before leaving Durham, North Carolina.
(It is amazing someone can go to a magstrates office, fill out a piece of
paper, raise their hand and state they are telling the truth and a warrant
will be issued for the party the complaint is against without any substaniating
evidence or documentation being presented at that time. The magstrate
in Durham admits this proceedure creates the potential for the filing of
false reports out of vindictiveness.
During his revocation hearings by the North Carolina Certification Board
of Social Workers Bruce Whealton was order to undergo a complete series of
psychological test and evaluations. The Consent Order which revokes
his license states;
“Dr. David Ziff conducted a psychological evaluation of the Respondent,
including psychological testing, which indicated (1) the possibility of significant
suicidal tendencies; (2) the possibility of a schizophrenia spectrum disorder
indicated by poor reality testing and disordered thinking; (3) the possibility
of affected disorder; (4) difficulties in planning and decision making due
to poor reality testing, disordered thinking, stress overload, and lack of
a consistent problem solving skill: (5) difficulties balancing one's own
needs versus those of others with the possibility of hostile and manipulative
behavior towards others; (6) a generalized lack
of skill and empathy in social relationships.
A psychosocial assessment conducted by Dr. Jay Williams concluded with the
recommendation that Respondent not practice psychotherapy without first undergoing
intensive, long-term psychotherapy with a well-qualified therapist or if
he does practice psychotherapy he should have weekly individual supervision
with a well-qualified therapist."
Mr. Bruce Whealton's license to practice as a licensed Social Worker in the
State of North Carolina was REVOKED on the 14th of June, 2001.
