A female counselor in Bettendorf was arrested for sexual exploitation after inviting a female client to her home, where she gave her drinks while attempting to grope and kiss her while they were in the therapist's hot tub.

According to the QCTimes, 45 year old Aracely Schutters faces one count of sexual exploitation by a counselor/therapist, a Class D felony punishable by up to five years in prison.
