North Carolina social worker Larry Maxey surrenders license; criminal investigation
July 19, 2012
The North Carolina Social Work Certification and Licensure Board recently reported the following disciplinary actions:
On March 23, 2012, the North Carolina Social Work Certification and Licensure Board issued a consent order in which it accepted the surrender of Larry Maxey's license to practice clinical social worker in the state of North Carolina.
According to the order, on February 1, 2012, the Board received a complaint alleging that Maxey sexually assaulted a client following a therapy session. Maxey, on the advice of his lawyer, declined to make any statements to the Board on the matter, other than denying the allegation.
The document states that Maxey is also the subject of a pending criminal investigation.
He was never investigated for anything else no matter what other people say. He does have an ex wife who is very vindictive and probably behind most of these comments.
It's easy for people to make allegations, especially on a Web page like this, Where facts are not important.
There were no disciplinary actions taken by the LCSW board.
That's not exactly true.
Sometime in or around February 2012, the Board contacted you regarding a client's allegation that you sexually assaulted her after a therapy session.
The Board's consent order states that, on advice of your lawyer, you declined to respond to the allegation and instead surrendered your license.
"...Respondent, while not admitting to the allegations, will not contest the allegations set forth in this Consent Order."
You avoided disciplinary action but that's not to say that had you answered the Board's allegation that you would not have been subject to disciplinary action. You probably woudl have and that's probably why you surrendered.
The facts are simple. An allegation was made and Larry wasn't allowed to respond by his lawyer other than to deny the allegations or respond in any way. Larry VOLUNTARILY surrendered his license and was offered the opportunity to have them returned by the Board. He declined.
Larry received a letter from the client's attorney where he said there were no criminal actions being investigated by the DA nor would her attorney support any criminal investigation or prosecution.
The Board states clearly there are no disciplinary actions.
The rest of the comments are clearly vindictive speculation.
Larry was hired by both local and state government after this was settled and vetted so the rest is simply untrue.
For the record the ex isn't behind any of this but has plenty of reason to dislike Larry. Any statements to the contrary are regretted.
