When CMTO receives complaints, the Inquiries, Complaints and Reports Committee (ICRC) can refer serious allegations (e.g., sexual abuse or other professional misconduct) to the Ontario Massage Therapists Discipline Tribunal (OMTDT), which is the Discipline Committee of CMTO. The OMTDT has issued the following decisions:

• Jude Ranjith Jesuthasan (2026) Read CanLII
  The Tribunal found that Mr. Jesuthasan improperly solicited information about actual MCQ questions from students who had recently attempted the MCQ and then shared that information with students in his tutoring class who were about to attempt the exam. Additionally, between May and July 2022, while practising at a clinic, Mr. Jesuthasan issued or allowed others to issue receipts for Massage Therapy treatments that he did not provide. He also created false treatment notes and recorded inaccurate treatment times on patient records.

• Hamilcar II Englis Amaya (2026) Read CanLII
  The Tribunal found that Mr. Amaya failed to maintain the standards for Consent, and Draping and Physical Privacy; physically abused a patient; and engaged in conduct or performing an act relevant to the practice of the profession that, having regard to all the circumstances, would reasonably be regarded by members as disgraceful, dishonourable or unprofessional.

• Jierong Zhang (2026) Read CanLII
  Ms. Zhang did not complete the 2024 requirements of the College’s Quality Assurance (QA) Program despite receiving several reminders and extensions from the College. When she was subsequently selected for a practice assessment as an alternative to fulfilling the incomplete QA Program requirements, Ms. Zhang neither completed it nor responded to any of the College’s communications.

• Aaron Shad (2026) Read CanLII
  Mr. Shad had a concurrent treating and personal relationship with a patient who was also his student at the Massage Therapy program where Mr. Shad worked as an instructor. In his capacity as a Massage Therapy instructor, Mr. Shad altered the patient’s exam answers to give her a better mark. Following the patient’s complaint to the College, Mr. Shad contacted the patient despite being advised by the College not to do so without prior consent.
