COLUMBUS - Graphic details about sex, fear and violations of state code filled a 10-hour hearing that will determine whether fired counselor Dennis Bliss will keep his license.
Part of that hearing included listening to a 13-minute recording between Bliss and a former client about having sex in her bedroom.
A second day of testimony, which is expected to include 13 witnesses, begins this morning.
The Plain Township man was fired by Nova Behavioral Health Services after he was accused of inappropriate behavior and relationships with his clients. ...
Bliss, a suspended Catholic priest, has been out of work for 10 months, according to his attorney, Donald Hicks of Akron. Bliss also is accused of using his home as a church attended by Nova clients.
