Orange County, California chiropractor Chi Van Pham (pictured) took with underage
patients. Following his convictions, an imprisoned 43-year-old Pham this week lost his
argument that there was insufficient evidence the girls knew he was touching
them in a sexual way. Sickened appellate justices noted, “There appears to be
no limit to the ability of our species to devise new and different bad things
to do to each other.”
Believe
it or not, Pham wasn't the first to try this legal move. In a prior California
case, a doctor who masturbated a patient's penis during various steroid
treatments unsuccessfully argued that he couldn't be held criminally
responsible because he never told the patient he wouldn't whack him off. That
doctor lost the point, but was freed on a technicality.
For
his sex crimes, Pham is serving a seven-year-prison sentence.
