Text: ¶14 Nine months later, DOPL filed a petition against Dr. Jensen. The petition alleged that Dr. Jensen's treatment of Ms. Sawyers violated Utah Administrative Code rule 156-37-11(14)(a) and (b), [2] and that Dr. Jensen had engaged in unprofessional conduct in violation of Utah Code section 58-1-501(2)(a), (b), and (g). [3] KTVX and Ms. Sawyers aired their second report about Dr. Jensen that same day, July 17, 1996. ¶15 The second news broadcast told viewers that DOPL had filed a petition for unprofessional conduct against Dr. Jensen. The second broadcast also reviewed the assertion made in the first, specifically, that Dr. Jensen had offered to work with Ms. Sawyers on illegally prescribing her Dexedrine. ¶16 Later that year, Dr. Jensen settled the DOPL complaint. He admitted that he had failed to comply with some of the requirements of Utah's Controlled Substance Rules. Dr. Jensen agreed to a public reprimand, to meet quarterly with professional licensing board members for one year, and to complete courses on proper prescribing practices and medical ethics.
