New allegations against disgraced former court psychiatrist Aubrey Levin have emerged. In a $1.4-million lawsuit filed this week, a Calgary man alleges he was molested by the doctor from 1998 to 2002. But in a statement of claim obtained Friday by the Sun, the plaintiff says he was referred by court order for a forensic assessment. The man, whom the Sun is not naming because of the sexual nature of the allegations, said he had to go see Levin or risk jail. “The plaintiff’s failure to comply with the court order would result in the plaintiff’s incarceration and/or other punitive measures,” his claim says. During the time period “the defendant, Levin … sexually assaulted the plaintiff while the plaintiff was attending court ordered treatment and/or assessment,” it says. Also named as defendants are the province, Alberta Health Services and its predecessors and the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta. Those defendants provided “Levin … with the opportunity to abuse his power, position and control over the plaintiff.” They were negligent in “failing to properly investigate Levin’s background prior to issuing him a licence.”"http://www.psychsearch.net/shrink-aubrey-levin-sued/
