“These charges involve 10 complainants and all stem from separate incidents, which allegedly occurred between 1982 and 2017,” police said.
Police have said that in 2018, a woman first came to them to report that she had been sexually assaulted on numerous occasions when she was a minor and a patient at Latch’s chiropractic practice.
On Jan. 29, 2019, Latch was charged with a single count of sexual assault.
