Associated Press A former Cleveland-area attorney accused of hypnotizing women for his sexual pleasure has been charged with kidnapping, sexual battery and gross sexual imposition following an investigation that began last fall.

Michael Fine was taken into custody Friday afternoon and charged with 27 counts before being released on bond, according to sheriff's records.

Police in the northeast Ohio village of Sheffield began investigating Fine after two women told investigators they believed they'd been hypnotized after losing track of time and being unable to recall meetings and phone calls with Fine. Police said they later recorded Fine using explicit language while talking to the women.

Messages seeking comment were left with Fine's attorney, Robert Housel, on Saturday. After details of the accusations became public last November, Housel said that Fine was undergoing medical treatment.

“Housel said that Fine was undergoing medical treatment.”

Isn’t this always the ploy!

“You are feeling very relaxed. When I count down from 10 and snap my fingers, you will wake up feeling refreshed and with no memory of your trance. You will also have a strong urge to pay your bill. 10...9... 8...”

One of my youthful indiscretions was watching a soft porn movie with the same plot.

I thought hypnosis could only ‘work’ if the subject was willing to be hypnotized. If that’s true how can two people come under hypnosis inadvertently?

Or maybe the technology has improved since I last looked.

I studied hypnosis several years ago. I seriously doubt this story. Perhaps they were drugged or bullied. If not, then they had to acquiesce to it.

I agree. Sounds more like rohypnol.

The reporting is incomplete. What was the explicit language?

Isn't that the truth!

Or they had a "difficult" and "abusive" childhood.
