Wicht Accused Again as Advocates Push for Change | New Orleans News

A former Mississippi mental health counselor, Wade Wicht, is under renewed scrutiny after four women come forward with allegations of sexual assault and misconduct — including one report filed just this past Tuesday. Despite losing his license in 2022 after admitting to inappropriate contact with patients, Wicht remains unaccounted for legally, with no public comment from him and unclear legal representation. The accusers describe enduring trauma and systemic injustice, while advocates push for new state legislation to criminalize sexual conduct between therapists and patients — a law already in place in many other states. One survivor revealed how Wicht allegedly continued therapy sessions while engaging in a sexual relationship, then assaulted her again after she ended things — reigniting calls for accountability and reform in Mississippi’s mental health system.
