Chiropractor Robert Waterstone accused of inappropriate touching
Kennesaw police arrested Dr. Robert Waterstone and charged him with five counts of misdemeanor sexual battery

A Cobb County chiropractor accused of inappropriately touching five female patients is now out on bond and not talking about the charges.

Kennesaw police arrested Dr. Robert Waterstone and charged him with five counts of misdemeanor sexual battery. He surrendered himself at the jail over the weekend before bonding out.

"Apparently, when they come in for services, for either chiropractic or massage or whatever, he asks them to disrobe, and that's when he inappropriately touches them," said Kennesaw police spokesperson Officer Scott Luther.

Reporters also obtained documents through the Secretary of State's office that showed the Georgia Board of Chiropractic Examiners placed Waterstone on probation three times since 1993 after he signed consent orders.  The documents show that in 1993 and again in 2004, the Board place Waterstone on probation after he reportedly paid indivduals to refer car accident victims to his office.  In 2013, the board placed Waterstone on three years probation after it said he allowed an unspervised, non-licensed contractor to perform a procedure on a patient.  That patient later complained she was injured during the procedure.

Kennesaw police want to find out if there are any other alleged victims and if there is, hopes they'll come forward.

"There is a possibility there could be more victims," said Luther.  "So we are asking the public for anybody who's gone over there that believe they might have been inappropriately touched."
