Shannon allegedly crossed the line between “helpful rehabber” and “creepy perv.”Michael Shannon is either the pioneer of an extremely new, extremely gropey form of rehab. Or he’s just a perv.The P-I reports that in August, a female patient at Swedish Medical Center complained to staff that the 38-year-old physical therapist had inappropriately touched her breasts. Shannon was placed on leave, but returned to duty after telling Swedish administrators that the patient had gotten her story wrong; he’d only been touching her shoulder.Then, two weeks later, another female patient made an identical complaint. Shannon had groped her breasts, she said. The difference being that, unlike the first patient, this new complainant was in rehab for an injury that was nowhere near her chest.Swedish fired Shannon after the second woman came forward. And he now faces two counts of indecent liberties. But he hasn’t been jailed yet, because he’s apparently fled the country with his wife. Presumably to a place where women don’t speak up when you fondle them.
