Therapist accused of misconduct with minor
Sep 09 2008, 12:04 PM A former Island resident and licensed therapist has pleaded not guilty to accusations of misconduct after being caught unclothed with a 15-year-old boy at his home earlier this year.

According to documents released by the King County Prosecutor's office, Thomas Arthur Gill, 63, a recent resident of Mercer Island, has been charged with one count each of indecent liberties and communication with a minor for immoral purposes. Gill was arraigned last week and pleaded not guilty. His attorney said all charges would be contested in court. Gill's social worker license was also recently suspended from the state Board of Health. The defendant is out of jail on $15,000 bail. Gill sold his family's Island home where the majority of the misconduct is suspected to have taken place two days before the incident occurred, county property records show.
