A gynecologist who specializes in reproductive medicine has been charged with sexually assaulting three patients during appointments at his Mount Laurel office, Burlington County authorities announced Monday.
Jerome Check, 80, of Melrose Park, Pennsylvania, faces three counts of sexual assault, according to the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office.
Prosecutors allege the assaults occurred between December 2024 and March 2025 while Check, a reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist, was alone with the patients in an examination room.
Investigators said two of the patients believed their appointments would be informational only and had not expected an invasive examination until Check indicated one was necessary.
Check was taken into custody in September and released following an appearance in Superior Court in Mount Holly. Prosecutors said the case is being prepared for presentation to a grand jury for possible indictment.
Investigators are seeking additional potential victims or anyone with information about the case.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office Special Victims Unit.
