What they're saying:
According to investigators, two female patients initially reported that Kim touched them inappropriately during their treatment sessions. Kim was arrested by Doraville Police on February 11, 2025, and more charges were filed in March after additional alleged victims came forward. The latest charges are connected to a total of seven victims.
Kim remains in the DeKalb County Jail without bond. His arraignment is scheduled for July 25, 2025.
District Attorney Sherry Boston said the investigation is still ongoing and urged other possible victims to come forward. "Doctors take an oath to act in the best interests of their patients and to do them no harm; however, Dr. Kim is accused of doing the exact opposite," Boston said. "We hope anyone who felt violated while in his care will come forward so that we can hold him accountable for his alleged actions."
