A local at-home therapist has been accused of sexually assaulting an autistic girl. The alleged abuse occurred over an 8-year period. The therapist, Lewis Trudell Barber, was arrested by San Antonio police.

His arrest followed a clinic visit related to a child's itching, which led to an investigation. Further details of the case are available from local news sources, including the affidavit filed against Barber. The affidavit reportedly states that the autistic child, who is under 14, was made uncomfortable by the alleged abuse.
