New Hampshire man arrested for allegedly abusing woman under hypnosis

New Hampshire police said they arrested a hypnotist who allegedly molested a woman he believed to be under a hypnotic trance. The woman told police she went to Thomas Goodness, 59, of Concord, N.H., on Aug. 27 to seek hypnotic treatment for a physical disorder, ABC News reported Thursday. She said Goodness tried to hypnotize her, but it didn't work and she was aware during the session. "She pretended and went along because she didn't know what else to do. She didn't know what Goodness was capable of, so she played along with it as best she could." Lt. Timothy O'Malley of Concord Police said. The woman said Goodness told her to touch herself sexually, and he touched her breasts and genitals, and kissed her multiple times. "As a result of the statements made by the victim and the evidence recovered during the search warrant, probable cause was established to arrest Goodness for multiple counts of sexual assault. A warrant was issued on Jan. 13, 2014 and the suspect turned himself in to police," police said in a statement Tuesday. Police said they were looking for other potential victims to come forward.
