AURORA, Ill. (WLS) — A west suburban chiropractor is accused of sexually abusing two teen boys in his care, officials said on Monday.

Aurora chiropractor Murtaza Hameed, aged 46, is facing 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, according to DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin and Aurora Police Chief Keith Cross.

The Naperville man appeared in court over the weekend, and a judge ordered that he be held in custody ahead of his trial.

Hameed allegedly sexually abused a 17-year-old boy, who he was providing treatment to at his office in the 3800-block of McCoy Drive, on Jan. 11.

After returning home from the appointment, the boy informed his father about the incident. The father then reached out to the Aurora Police Department, which in turn contacted the DuPage County Children’s Center.

Through the course of their investigation, authorities also learned that a similar incident allegedly happened to a 16-year-old boy in 2016.

Hameed’s next court appearance is scheduled for June 2.

Officials are encouraging anyone who might have been affected or has further information to get in touch with Aurora Police Investigator Jennifer Hillgoth at cosentij@aurora.il.us or call 630-256-5554.
