GREG CARTER; (ONTARIO); TRIAL UNDER WAY; TESTIFIED IN FAMILY COURT CASES; PLEADS NOT GUILTY TO FRAUDULENTLY MISREPRESENTING HIS QUALIFICATIONS;

"Mr. Carter, who was frequently called upon to testify and conduct assessments in family court cases, was registered with the Ontario College of Psychologists as a psychological associate; limitations on his practice prevented him from making independent diagnoses.

In June of 2010 Mr. Carter pleaded guilty before a College disciplinary panel, admitting he had made diagnoses he was not qualified to make, and claimed he had a doctorate in psychology, although his credentials were never accepted by the college. He was barred from practising for three months.

Allegations that Mr. Carter falsified his qualifications have given rise to questions about the validity of rulings rendered in cases he took part in."

"OSHAWA -- A Whitby psychological associate accused of faking his credentials while testifying in family court cases has pleaded not guilty to fraud," the Oshawadurham.com stroy by reporter Jeff Mitchell published on June 13, 2011 under the heading, "Whitby man accused of faking doctorate pleads not guilty to fraud," begins.

"Greg Carter entered the plea after being arraigned on five counts of fraud under $5,000 Monday morning in Oshawa. Testimony in the trial is expected to begin Wednesday," the story continues.

"Mr. Carter, of Whitby, was charged in January 2010 with fraud, perjury and obstructing justice. Durham police alleged Mr. Carter falsely identified himself as a psychologist in family court proceedings, some of which resulted in parents losing bids for custody of their children.

Last December the Crown dropped the perjury charges, electing to proceed on six fraud counts. On Monday, one of the fraud charges was withdrawn.

The trial, before Ontario Court Justice Paul Bellefontaine, continues Wednesday.
