Authorities initially responded to a report of indecent exposure from Hardenan’s client. However, the investigation quickly revealed a far more disturbing sequence of events, including accusations of sexual assault.
According to court documents, the woman said that this weekly mental health session began like any other but Hardenan started making inappropriate comments about her body. Soon after, he pulled his pants down and exposed his private area to her.
She said she excused herself by going to her bedroom, and when she looked up, Hardenan was inside her room. She said he closed her bedroom door, pushed her on the bed, and positioned himself behind her. Then, she said he pulled down his pants and tried to sexually assault her.
The woman said when he was done, she immediately called the True Mental Health Company and told them what happened, and they told her to contact the police.
Officers said they collected DNA evidence from the woman’s home and were able to link it back to Hardenan, which led to his arrest.
KPRC 2 has reached out to True Mental Health Company for comment, but as of Wednesday afternoon, we have not heard back from them.
