Man charged in suspicious exams on teen athletes

"A former stadium manager for the Highline School District was charged Monday with forgery and four counts of practicing medicine without a license for allegedly performing physical exams and administering injections he wasn't qualified to do.

Jayson W. Boehm was dismissed by the school district last spring, and the state Department of Health issued an emergency suspension of his health-care-provider license a month later, accusing Boehm of performing physical exams on 26 male students, asking them to strip and touching their genitals. In addition to stadium manager, he performed the duties of an athletic trainer.

In March, an adult boxer who trains and competes with the White Center Police Athletic League suffered a bloody nose in a bout; he was sent to Boehm before and after his match and told investigators that both times, Boehm had the boxer lower his shorts and "Boehm checked his penis and testicles," charging papers say.

Though the boxer hadn't received any below-the-belt hits, Boehm swabbed the man's penis for blood, the papers say.

A student football player, who suffered a concussion in a 2009 game, was told by his coach to see Boehm before returning to practice, charging papers say. The player said "the exam consisted of Boehm telling him to lower his pants and underwear, then Boehm examined his testicles," the papers say.

Boehm "did not examine any other parts of his body," and a few days later Boehm again examined the boy's testicles, according to charging documents." Full story here!
