Dr. Syed A.Jaffery Indicted On 19 Counts



An Egg Harbor Township medical doctor was indicted Wednesday for a sexual assault and multiple counts of criminal sexual contact involving 18 victims in 2013 and 2014.

An Atlantic County grand jury indicted Syed A. Jaffery, of Trotter Road in Egg Harbor Township, on 19 criminal counts, including one count of sexual assault using force or coercion, a second-degree crime and 18 counts of fourth degree criminal sexual contact, according to Atlantic County Prosecutor Jim McClain.

Jaffery was named in a four-count, state grand jury indictment for accepting kickbacks in exchange for patient referrals, prosecutors said Tuesday.
Jaffery allegedly committed criminal sexual contact against patients at his medical practice, using force or coercion for the purpose of sexually arousing or sexually gratifying himself as well as degrading or humiliating the victims, according to the prosecutor’s office.
