The CPSA said it found the complainant’s recollection of events was credible after interviewing witnesses and reviewing the evidence. Fadayomi’s conduct was deemed unprofessional according to the CPSA’s standard of practice.

The CPSA’s hearing tribunal will reconvene at another date to discuss sanctioning. The CPSA said mandatory sanctions for sexual abuse under the Health Professions Act do not apply because the complainant is not a patient.
