Description
Bettina Cotton filed a complaint against Arnold Kambly, M.D., and the University Center, Inc., alleging mental and emotional
damages suffered when Dr. Kambly induced her to engage in sexual intercourse with him during the course or under the guise
of psychiatric treatment. She alleged, among other things, malpractice as a cause of action. The Washtenaw Circuit Court,
Harold E. VanDomelen, J., granted summary judgment for defendants for failure to state a cause of action, holding that plaintiff's
causes of action had been abolished by statute. Plaintiff appeals. Held : Seduction is the act of persuading or inducing a woman of previously chaste character to depart from the path of virtue by
the use of any species of acts, persuasions or wiles which are calculated to have, and do have, that effect and result in
her ultimately submitting her person to the sexual embraces of the person accused. A civil cause of action for seduction of
a woman over 18 has been abolished. However, plaintiff alleged a valid cause of action for malpractice.
