Texas Marriage Counselor Gets No Jail in Sex Case

(Fort Worth, Texas) A 47-year-old marriage counselor, Sheila Loven, has been convicted by a jury of sexually assaulting a client, the husband of a couple she was counseling.

Reportedly, while counseling Loven turned the couple against each other and started a sexual relationship with the husband after convincing the wife to file for divorce.

Tarrant County jury sentenced Sheila Loven to 10 years probation for sexually assaulting a client she was counseling.

Should she violate her probation, Loven could be sent to jail for up to four years.

Jurors seemed to follow the law and follow their hearts Wednesday afternoon in sentencing the licensed professional counselor they had already convicted of sexual assault.

Loven has lost her license as a counselor and was ordered to register as a sex offender.
