A lawyer in Minnesota, Thomas P. Lowe, has been suspended after billing a client for the time he spent having sex with her.
From the complaint (pdf):
The Director of the Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility has filed a petition for disciplinary action alleging that respondent Thomas P. Lowe committed professional misconduct, namely, engaging in a sexual relationship with a vulnerable client and billing the client for meetings in which they engaged in sexual relations, in violation of Minn. R. Prof. Conduct 1.5(a) and (b), 1.7(a)(2), and 1.8(j).
It's not a happy story. And it almost ended in tragedy. Opposing Views provides some more details>>
