Edgar, a former marriage and family therapist in Pasadena, California, was sentenced to four years in state prison on Thursday for sexually abusing seven of his patients, according to People and a press release from the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office.
Edgar, 66, pleaded no contest in September 2019 to all seven counts. Deputy District Attorney Lisa Daruty said in the release that he must register as a sex offender for life.
Prosecutors say the abuse happened between 2014 and 2018. He was first arrested in November 2018 after a female patient reported that he assaulted her during an appointment. A second patient then came forward about a similar incident in 2016.
Pasadena Now reported that his license to practice was still valid as of October 2020, but a judge has since barred him from any work that requires a license.
