Text: ¶25 We now apply the totality of the circumstances standard to the May 2, 2001 session. The testimony was undisputed that DeLain was a licensed psychologist who had provided therapy to J.F. on April 25, one week prior to the sexual contact at issue here; that J.F. was only 16 years of age; that DeLain knew that J.F. had problems with intimate relationships; that DeLain intended to provide therapy; that during the May 2 therapy session J.F. was wearing a recording device; that J.F. never formally withdrew from therapy; and that the parties stipulated that DeLain was performing psychotherapy on J.F. in May 2001. Based on the totality of these circumstances, we conclude that a rational trier of fact could have found beyond a reasonable doubt that the sexual contact occurred during an ongoing therapist-patient relationship.
