CALIFORNIA IN BRIEF : SANTA ANA : Camp Psychiatrist Told Not to Practice

An Orange County judge has temporarily suspended the medical practice of Dr. James H. White, the consulting psychiatrist for Camp O’Neal, a Sierra Nevada youth facility near a lake where seven people drowned in February. Superior Court Judge Eileen Moore issued the temporary restraining order after viewing sexually explicit videotapes of the Newport Beach psychiatrist and a patient. The order is in effect until May 1, when the judge will decide whether to extend White’s suspension, pending the outcome of a California Medical Board hearing on whether to suspend or revoke his license. White, 47, was arrested last month on charges of sexually abusing an adult patient. He is free on $200,000 bail.
