Hello @Fram,

This is the full section you removed:

"Medical misconduct that is not covered by a university or health authority is addressed by the province's College of Physicians and Surgeons of Nova Scotia (CPSNS). One of the most infamous cases involved a psychiatrist, Dr. Curtis Steele, who had his licence revoked after an investigation concluded that he had taken nude photographs of a 14-year-old female patient he was treating in 2003. The female patient had delayed making a complaint until September 2013, at which time Dr. Steele gave up his licence to practice medicine as a result of the conclusions of the CPSNS Hearing Committee and he subsequently stopped teaching at Dalhousie University. He was charged with a child pornography offence and was due to stand trial in 2017, however the young woman was "visibly shaken when she saw the accused walk into the waiting area outside the courtroom" and refused to testify, leading to the child porn charges against Dr. Steele being withdrawn. The crown prosecutor noted that whether or not Dr. Steele had taken the photos was not in dispute, as this was proven in the CPSNS investigation. The trial was specifically to determine whether the photos taken were for a sexual purpose and therefore met the definition of child pornography. Dr. Steele did not face any jail time and he passed away with his wife in 2024. His obituary still described him as a lifelong physician who had spent his life devoted to mental well-being and "innovative mental health modalities", ending with the statement, "Curtis was an avid lifelong photographer with an incredible eye.""

Please look at the CPSNS settlement agreement at https://cpsns.ns.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Settlement-Agreement-Dr.-Curtis-Steele.pdf

I can understand if you wish to remove the part I just bolded above - that would be meeting your comment about "extremely negative claims based on the prosecution". However, given that the fact of taking nude photos of a minor was proven in an investigation conducted by CPSNS, and they held a judicial process (Hearing Committee) that determined he was to have his licence to practice medicine revoked, and this made national news, what would be your rationale for removing the entire section and not simply the part about unproven charges? Can we find a compromise where we agree to simply remove the bolded part and restore the section? Is there an admin we can tag who can adjudicate this dispute and decide if the entire section need be removed or only the part about withdraw child porn charges?
