Unauthorized chiropractor in Houston faced charges for sexual misconduct, operating without a valid license.
In a shocking turn of events, Joshua Aaron Gomez, an unlicensed chiropractor in Harris County, has been arrested on sexual assault charges. At least 12 victims have come forward so far, with authorities believing that there may be additional unidentified victims.
The latest updates indicate that Gomez was apprehended by the Harris County Sheriff's Office. He is currently held in the Harris County Jail, with his bond set between $50,000 and $75,000, depending on the report.
The initial known incident occurred in 2023 at One Life Chiropractic in Katy, where a postpartum woman alleges Gomez sexually assaulted her during treatment. This is not the first time Gomez has been accused of sexual misconduct. The Texas Board of Chiropractic Examiners confirmed that he had prior accusations to his name.
In 2019, Gomez surrendered his chiropractic license due to multiple sexual misconduct complaints. He has also faced numerous complaints of a sexual nature against women he treated or worked alongside.

The Sheriff's Office is urging other potential victims to come forward and contact them at 713-274-9370 or Crime Stoppers of Houston at 713-222-TIPS (8477).
In a separate case, Gomez faces sexual assault charges in Hidalgo County involving another victim. A news conference is expected to be held by officials on Friday to provide more details about the case.
