Two women have reported to Hattiesburg police that counselor Wade Wicht sexually abused them during counseling sessions, but he may never face criminal charges because it’s not against the law in Mississippi for counselors to have sexual contact with their clients. Wicht has already admitted to having sex with two women he counseled, a violation of the ethical code that prompted the loss of his license before the State Board of Examiners for Licensed Professional Counselors, which oversees and licenses counselors. More than half the states consider sex between mental health professionals and their patients a crime, but Mississippi isn't one of them. A bill that would have changed that died in a Senate committee last year. mississippitoday.org/2024/02…
