1. WEEPING DENTIST ADMITS TO SEX ACT AT HIS OFFICE
But two hours into his bold denial of charges brought against him, Hansen broke down and wept when he admitted letting a patient perform oral sex on him."I don't know why I let her," Hansen testified Thursday. "I feel terrible. I'm embarrassed. I contemplated suicide. I contemplated running away."
He said he has apologized to his family, the local dental community and his church.
Hansen's tearful confession ended an emotion-charged day of testimony at a hearing before the state Dentists and Dental Hygienists Licensing Board. Hansen and his twin brother, Brent, have been accused of sexual misconduct, incompetency, over-prescribing drugs and fraudulent Medicaid billing in a petition issued by the state Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing in August 1989.
The patient was Keyna Whimpey, the state's key witness against the Hansens and whom Hansen said he found attractive and flirtatious, yet highly emotional and always complaining of pain. After returning from developing X-rays, Hansen saw Whim-pey topless in the dentist chair. He said his "manly instincts" took over and he allowed her to unzip his pants and perform oral sex. She tried it again during another appointment the following May, but Hansen said he stopped her.
Whimpey, 29, has testified that every time she went to the Hansens' office between 1986 and 1988 she had oral or sexual intercourse with either Kent or Brent Hansen in exchange for prescriptions for narcotics. She blames the Hansens for getting her addicted to drugs.
