THERAPIST ARRESTED

The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office says a therapist, formerly employed at Bridgeway Health Services in Fort Walton Beach, has been arrested for sending sexually explicit texts to one of his clients. 38-year-old Brian Murphy, has been charged with cyberstalking, a first-degree misdemeanor. The victim told investigators that Murphy sent sexually explicit text messages and she texted him back saying the messages were inappropriate and to leave her alone, but he continued sending them. Bridgeway is an Okaloosa County non-profit specializing in behavioral health care services. A Bridgeway spokesman confirmed that Murphy was no longer employed at the center.
