Chiropractor charged with groping patient

A Middletown chiropractor who was featured on the Fox network’s Marriage 911 show was charged with forcible touching, a misdemeanor for groping a woman under his care. Christopher King, 48, on Goshen was released on $500 bail.

In 2005, King's family was on Fox Network's "Nanny 911" to get help with their unruly children. Then King and his wife were featured as an argumentative couple on their own short-lived spin-off, "Marriage 911."

A Fox news release for the "Nanny 911" episodes called King "a self-proclaimed 'old-fashioned guy'" who expected his wife to do all the chores and raise their five kids.

According to Detective Sgt. Gerald Mishk, after a woman finished a chiropractic treatment, she was lying down on a table. King began to say suggestive things to her, then squezzed her breast after sliding his hand under her.

James Monroe, King’s lawyer, and Jeffery Spina, who is King’s empoyer, both believe in King’s innocence.

The lawyer stated that "Dr. King adamantly denies any wrongdoing, and the practice remains committed to delivering quality health care to their patients."

Spina said: "It doesn't make sense to me, knowing the circumstances, but I believe he's innocent."

Yesterday, the patient and her husband spoke out.

The patient had spinal surgery two years ago for a degenerative condition. She weaned herself off pain medications, and two months ago started going to Dolson Avenue Medical for chiropractic and other treatments.

She says King made remarks and asked questions that made her uncomfortable, but she shrugged them off.

After treating her on May 13, her husband says, King started asking the woman about her orgasms. She got off King's table, walked to the physical therapy area and lay down there. King walked over and started to rub her shoulders, the husband says, and that's when he groped her. When she resisted, he says, King pushed her down, told her to relax and fondled her other breast.

"I'm definitely afraid to go to a doctor right now," she said. "I don't sleep. I'm sick to my stomach. It's awful."

The victim and her husband went to police May 16, and hopes other victims do the same.
