Aurora chiropractor Murtaza Hameed, 46, is facing 13 more charges related to criminal sexual abuse regarding young patients.

Hameed, a resident of Naperville, is facing allegations of sexually abusing a 17-year-old boy in January and a 16-year-old in 2016 at Arwa Chiropractic, situated in the 3800-block of McCoy Drive.

After he was arrested in May, three more victims came forward saying the chiropractor inappropriately touched them.

The incidents allegedly happened between July 2016 through January 2025 to boys and adult men.

Aurora police said Hameed is the only practicing chiropractor in that office.

He is currently facing several charges, including one count of criminal sexual assault, five counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, one count of attempted criminal sexual assault, and one count of misdemeanor battery, as announced by DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin and Aurora Police Chief Keith Cross.

Following his arrest, Hameed has been held in custody. During a court hearing on Tuesday, a judge permitted his release under electronic monitoring and home confinement. He was specifically instructed not to have any contact with minors, with the exception of his own children.
