Yes, but he deserved it. [/b]
More to the point of this discussion, Deter would never bring criminal charges. Lois would expose his use of hypnosis to try to get her to love him. Even know I am not sure any criminal charges could stick against him, and I think even less likely in the early 1990s, but even then it would probably get his license revoked.
