John Gary Tomlinson, a 73-year-old hypnotherapist from Grand Blanc Township, Michigan, has been sentenced to a minimum of 15 years in prison for multiple sexual assaults against his patients. Convicted in August, Tomlinson faced charges including first-degree criminal sexual conduct and unlawful imprisonment, with incidents occurring between 2013 and 2017.
