Myung Ho Lee, of Englewood Cliffs, faces charges of criminal sexual contact and unlicensed practice of acupuncture, Acting Bergen County Prosecutor Gurbir S. Grewal announced in a statement.
The allegations surfaced May 4 when a woman told Fort Lee police Lee "inappropriately touched" her during an acupuncture treatment, Grewal said. Local police and the prosecutor's Special Victims Unit launched a joint investigation.
Detectives served a search warrant Friday at Fort Lee Acupuncture and Physical Therapy on Whiteman Road, Grewal added. Authorities did release further information about the search.
A woman who answered the phone at Fort Lee Acupuncture on Saturday said no one was immediately available to comment.
According to officials, Lee was ordered held at the Bergen County Jail in lieu of $10,000 bail, with no 10 percent option.
