A former chief neurologist at Capital Health Systems’ Institute of Neurosciences in Hopewell Township has been indicted on eight counts of sexual assault and seven counts of criminal sexual contact, according to Mercer County Prosecutor Angelo Onofri.

Dr. Ricardo Cruciani, 63, of Wynnewood, Pa., was indicted on March 9 by a Mercer County grand jury, Onofri said. The indictment alleges that he committed sexual assault and touching by use of physical force or coercion on seven women victims between January 2014 and January 2016.

Several of the women came forward to report the incidents after they learned that Dr. Cruciani had pleaded guilty to groping women in a Philadelphia, Pa., clinic. He is also facing charges of sexually assaulting multiple women in New York over a 10-year period.

Onofri said the charges are a result of an investigation by the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office’s Special Victims Unit and the Hopewell Township Police Department.
