CLIFTON -- A state board revoked, for four years, the medical license of a psychiatrist who had an inappropriate sexual relationship with one of his patients, state officials announced Tuesday.

Dr. Theodore F. Jasper admitted to having physical contact with the patient, whom he had been treating for years with medication and talk therapy.

They also exchanged gifts, including a pin she gave him that called him the "World's Sexiest Psychiatrist," according to a news release from the state attorney general's office.

Jasper allegedly began a relationship with a patient nine years into treating her, during which they had sex at her house and in his office, according to the complaint from the attorney general's office.

She also allegedly sent him nude pictures. The board found Jasper's actions constituted gross or repeated malpractice and professional misconduct.

Jasper agreed to have his license revoked earlier this month after he already had his license suspended. His revocation is retroactive to when he first agreed to surrender his license in 2015.

Jasper was ordered to pay $53,390 in civil penalties and fees. He is also required to undergo a psycho-sexual evaluation and complete any other recommended programs in patient boundaries and ethics before attempting to reapply for his license.

If Jasper does reapply for his license, the state could impose additional regulations against him, including requiring that he see only men as patients or women with a chaperone present.

"Any physician who engages in an inappropriate physical relationship with a patient is violating well established professional boundaries," Attorney General Christopher S. Porrino said in a statement.

Jasper could not be immediately reached for comment.
