What changed

The Indiana Attorney General's office, through a consumer complaint filed in April 2025, investigated Dr. Aaron King for alleged sexual assault and other inappropriate sexual acts with patients. Following the investigation, the Attorney General's team secured a suspension of Dr. King's license, and subsequently filed formal charges. The Indiana Board of Chiropractic Examiners has now permanently revoked Dr. King's professional license.

This action serves as a strong warning to healthcare providers regarding professional misconduct and patient safety. While this specific action pertains to an individual, it underscores the importance of strict adherence to ethical and legal standards in patient care. Regulated entities should ensure robust internal policies and training are in place to prevent such violations and be prepared for potential investigations and license revocation proceedings in cases of severe misconduct.

What to do next

Review internal policies and training related to patient conduct and professional ethics.
Ensure all staff are aware of reporting mechanisms for patient complaints and misconduct.

Attorney General Todd Rokita’s team has ensured that a former chiropractor from the Evansville area who allegedly engaged in inappropriate sexual activity with patients — including sexually assaulting one woman — can no longer practice in Indiana.

In April of 2025, Attorney General Rokita’s office received a consumer complaint filed by a patient who said she was sexually assaulted by Dr. Aaron King, who was at that time a chiropractor in the town of Newburgh. The Attorney General’s Office subsequently learned of other patients with whom Dr. King engaged in sexual acts. Armed with this information, Attorney General Rokita’s team obtained a suspension of King’s professional license.

After completing its investigation, the Attorney General’s Office filed formal charges against King’s license — which this month was permanently revoked by the Indiana Board of Chiropractic Examiners.

“Healthcare providers are entrusted with a sacred duty — one that, when violated through sexual assault and abuse, demands swift and permanent consequences,” Attorney General Rokita said. “Revoking this former chiropractor’s license ensures he can never exploit vulnerable patients again — safeguarding Hoosier women, upholding accountability, and reaffirming that Indiana has zero tolerance for predators who betray the trust of those seeking care.”

Attorney General Rokita expressed particular gratitude to Deputy Attorney General Carah Rochester, Certified Legal Intern Colin Russell, and Investigator Andrea Mills for their work on this case. Their thorough work in bringing this matter before the board resulted in the future protection of Indiana patients.

Allegations against Dr. King included lewd and immoral conduct with patients, sex with patients, sexual assault of a patient, reaching out to a 17-year-old patient via social media, violations of HIPAA, and using the title “chiropractor” during the suspension of his license.
