'Sorry, I got carried away' spiritual healer allegedly told naked patient
George Boak, 70, told his clients that his treatments worked by hovering his hands above their body and occasionally touching them - but two allege that he put his hands under their clothes and touched them inappropriately.
Another former patient, who agreed to be naked in the healing sessions when she was told it would be more effective, alleges Mr Boak groped her and kissed her breasts, before saying: "Sorry, I got carried away".
The healer denies two counts of sexual assault and one of indecent assault - admitting that he did touch one of the women but thought she was consenting, the jury at Bradford Crown Court heard.
He denies touching the other two women in the manner alleged.
Michael Smith, prosecuting, told the jury: "The defendant operated as a healer. The crown say the counts were committed against three women when they were the defendant's patients.
