Monroe County authorities have charged a mental health worker accused of sexually assaulting patients at the Tomah VA Medical Center with sexual exploitation by a therapist.

Charles W. Davis, a peer support specialist, was arrested earlier

this month after two female patients accused him of ongoing harassment, exposing himself and receiving oral sex in his office.

Davis, 47, was charged in Monroe County Circuit Court with two counts of sexual exploitation by a therapist, each of which carries a maximum 12-year sentence. He was also charged with lewd and lascivious behavior, a misdemeanor.

According to the criminal complaint, Davis made repeated sexual advances to two patients, including a 26-year-old veteran receiving treatment for past “military sexual trauma.”

She told VA police that Davis called her into his office in December and exposed himself.

A 32-year-old patient said Davis sent her sexually explicit pictures of himself and that she gave him oral sex in his office, according to the complaint.
