JACKSON — A chiropractor was charged with criminal sexual contact after a patient reported being touched inappropriately during a session.

James Royle, 68, of New Egypt, touched the female “in an inappropriate manner that was unrelated to the treatment” during her regular appointment at Royle Sports Chiropractic in Jackson on Feb. 14, Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer said.

Royle surrendered to Jackson police Thursday, when he was charged on a summons and released before his court date.

Investigators would like to speak with anyone else who may have had a similar experience with Royle at 732- 929-2027, extension 3124.

Royle, whose website says he is a married father, has been licensed to practice in New Jersey since 1982. The Division of Consumer Affairs website does not list any regulatory actions against him by the State Board of Chiropractic Examiners.
