16. In addition to the cases provided for in section 15, sexologists may communicate information that is protected by professional secrecy to prevent an act of violence, including a suicide, where they have reasonable cause to believe that there is an imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury to a person or an identifiable group of persons.
Despite the foregoing, sexologists may only communicate the information to a person or persons exposed to the danger or their representative, or to the persons likely to come to that person’s aid.
Sexologists may only communicate such information as is necessary to achieve the purposes for which the information is communicated.
