N.J. hypnotist sexually assaulted clients, prosecutor says
An Essex County, NJ, based hypnotist was arrested Wednesday after an investigation revealed that he was sexually assaulting clients, authorities said. Robert Bruckner, 55, of Randolph, the owner of Major Mindset Hypnosis Counseling in Fairfield, was charged with sexual assault, endangering the welfare of a child and practicing medicine without a license, according to a statement from the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office.
The investigation by the office and the Fairfield Police was launched after clients reported to police that they had visited Bruckner for hypnotherapy but that during their sessions, he had subjected them to what he described as a prostate exam ... Bruckner, who is not a licensed doctor, advertised hypnosis services to adults, teens and children on his website, authorities said.
“Hypnotist Robert A. Bruckner is a board certified hypnotist who specializes in academic, sports performance and medical hypnosis-counseling for adults, teens and children,” the website stated. “Robert is a Master Hypnotist who practices both Ericksonian Conversational Hypnosis and moderate to deep trance hypnosis for medical, sports, academic and many other issues and concerns."
Anyone who may have information pertaining to the matter was asked to contact the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office Special Victims Unit at 973-753-1130.
