Knight was seeing a female patient that had come to him for a tummy tuck. It is alleged that her husband and children were waiting in their car.

The California Medical Board takes it very seriously when a doctor that is licensed by them is caught having a sexual relationship with one of their patients. The law that governs sexual misconduct with a patient can be found in the California Business and Professions Code 726. It states the commission of any act of sexual abuse, misconduct, or relations with a patient, client, or customer constitute unprofessional conduct and grounds for disciplinary action for any person licensed under this division. In a situation like this, the California Medical Board can revoke the license of a medical practitioner.
