First off, I"m very sorry for what happened to you.
But I'm unclear as to why you are surprised by the polygrapher lying - their job is to lie - that's the whole point of the test - to trick you. So it's not surprising that most polygraphers are of the type who would cheat and lie - they must feel above the law. They gain that self-confidence that propels them to lie without a conscience when they know their important work involves turning people's lives around based on their common perceptions, which is as good as the average joe's.
Frankly, I would seek legal advice - especially since you have proof. I would also report Bruce to the authorities and write a letter to the association he belongs to.

sad but true. my fiance was cheating on me with my friends (i had this reliably confirmed). she denied any wrongdoing out of hand and i decided to end our engagement. SHE decided and insisted on sitting for a polygraph test. we selected a 'reputable' examiner, MR BRUCE BURGESS in the UK.
she passed but [two sentences redacted*].
this examiner happens to be a member of the american polygraph association. what kind of recourse is available to those who have been deceived not only by their partners but by the examiner himself?
*The two sentences redacted here included unsubstantiated speculation and innuendo that seem to violate AntiPolygraph.org's posting policy against, among other things, false or defamatory statements.
On 3 May 2006, Bruce Burgess contacted AntiPolygraph.org stating that "[t]his message includes untrue and libellous comments against [him]" and demanding that the message be removed. An attempt was made to contact the anonymous author of this post, but after four days, no response was received.
That portion of this post not in keeping with AntiPolygraph.org's posting policy has been redacted. We see no evidence that Mr. Burgess did anything improper.
