In January, the DuPage County Children's Center was informed by the Aurora Police of an alleged sexual assault of a minor at Hameed's office in the 3800 block of McCoy Drive. An investigation revealed that a 17-year-old boy received care from Hameed on January 11, when Hameed sexually abused him. When the boy returned home, he informed his father of the incident, who alerted the police. 

During the investigation, police learned of a similar alleged incident in 2016 involving a 16-year-old boy.

What they're saying:

"This type of extremely disturbing behavior will not be tolerated in DuPage County and will be met with the full force of the law," said DuPage State's Attorney Robert B. Berlin. "I commend the young victim in this case for disclosing what allegedly happened to him." 

What's next:

Hameed's next court appearance will be June 2.
