James Royle, of New Egypt, was charged with criminal sexual contact in connection with the incident Friday, Feb. 14 in Jackson Township, Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer said.
On Feb. 26, the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Special Victims Unit and Jackson Township Police Department were contacted by a female victim who claimed that she was touched inappropriately during a chiropractic adjustment by Royle, a chiropractor and owner of Royle Sports Chiropractic in Jackson, the prosecutor said.
An investigation by the aforementioned agencies revealed that the victim went to her scheduled appointment at Royle’s office on Friday, Feb. 14, during which Royle touched the victim in an inappropriate manner that was unrelated to the treatment, authorities said.
On Feb. 27, Royle was charged with Criminal Sexual Contact. On that same date, Royle surrendered himself to Jackson Township Police Headquarters, where he was charged on a summons pending future appearances in Ocean County Superior Court.
“If anyone has had a similar experience with Royle, I urge you to contact Detective Cassidy Goebel of the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office at 732- 929-2027, extension 3124, or Detective Brian Baranyay of the Jackson Township Police Department at 732- 833-3010,” Prosecutor Billhimer stated.
