Florida Intern Faces Backlash After Alleged Affair with Patient

A Florida woman interning at a mental health and addiction center was fired and now faces a possible five years in prison after allegedly having a sexual relationship with a patient. According to arrest documents obtained by NBC Miami, Michelle Luchau-Rebora, 32, allegedly fabricated excuses for the patient to leave the center to allow them to have sex at her mother’s house and, rather disturbingly, at a local hospital. The intern made up excuses for the patient to leave the facility to have sex with him As explained in the documents, Luchau-Rebora "facilitated alibis on his behalf, which allowed him authorization to leave the restricted facility and engage in sexual intercourse on multiple occasions.

Luchau-Rebora must have been furious as, according to court documents, the intern "demanded that he not tell anyone about their relationship because it will affect her ability to work as a therapist.

" The relationship began last June and reportedly ended in the fall after the pair met at the New Hope C. O. R.
