Press Release Summary = The child psychiatrist was stripped of his license to
practice and labeled a sexual predator by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of
British Columbia last month.

Press Release Body = The Citizens Commission on Human Rights has asked the Senior
Research Officer of the Billing Integrity Program, Medical Services Plan if they are
checking up on psychiatrist Richard Golden to see if he billed MSP for his three
year sexual activities with three teenage girls who had come to him for help. The
"help" which ended up in the child psychiatrist engaging in kissing, fondling,
masturbation and oral sex with one of the girls in his office.

In another case, the psychiatrist asked his patient if she was a virgin, asked her
to say things about her underwear and asked her questions of her sexual activities.

The child psychiatrist was stripped of his license to practice and labeled a sexual
predator by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia last month
after finding him guilty of sexual relations with three teenage female patients
between 2000 and 2005

Three separate lawsuits for sexual assault by his three woman victims have now been
filed in the Supreme Court of British Columbia against Dr. Golden.

One patient was 15 and two were 17 when they began seeing Golden for certain
difficulties in life.

Since the complaints of his perverted sexual behavior began to surface it has become
obvious that the "wagons have been circling" because Golden now has been
conveniently diagnosed as suffering from an incurable "mental illness" by
psychiatrists Ronald A. Remmick and Michael Myers, two of Golden's colleagues.
Golden's wife, Susan Golden, who is also a psychiatrist, has had her husband
declared mentally incompetent in the period after the sexual assaults on the teenage
girls. She is also named in the civil suits as she should have provided safety to
these girls at their west side family practice.

Golden has not been indicted yet but an ordinary citizen would have been arrested
charged by now. Why not Golden? This question is being asked by many people,
including members of CCHR, who want criminal charges pressed against the
psychiatrist and are insisting too that Golden be placed on the sexual offender's
registry to protect society's children from harm.

The complaint process carried out by various medical boards and colleges has been
thwarted, in part, by the belief that psychiatrists like Golden are somehow above
the law and beyond reproach. However, evidence indicates that women are at very
great risk of being sexually assaulted while in a psychiatrist\'s office.

Brian Beaumont, spokesperson for the British Columbia chapter of the Citizens
Commission on Human Rights (CCHR), said "Psychiatric sexual assault is commonplace
over the world, but all too often the perpetrator is only slapped on the wrist by
being given a fine or suspension from practice for these criminal activities. But
CCHR is going to carry through until those of Golden\'s ilk are behind bars where
they belong".

The Citizens Commission on Human Rights was established by the Church of Scientology
to investigate and expose psychiatric violations of human rights.
