Jersey City Doctor Loses License Over Sexual Misconduct Allegations

JERSEY CITY, NJ — A Jersey City doctor accused of sexually assaulting a patient has officially lost his medical license, The Garden State Gazette has learned.

Dr. Humberto T. Perez, 88, who practiced family medicine, was permanently stripped of his license by the New Jersey State Board of Medical Examiners on February 3, 2025. The revocation comes months after he was charged in November 2024 with multiple counts of sexual misconduct, stemming from alleged incidents during medical exams in July 2024.

A Case of Betrayed Trust?

According to authorities, Perez allegedly engaged in inappropriate physical contact with a patient during an examination, with at least one incident reportedly recorded by the victim. The Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office has confirmed that the criminal case against Perez is ongoing.

While the doctor did not admit guilt, he signed a consent order on January 21, 2025, agreeing to the permanent revocation of his license. As part of the agreement, Perez is banned from ever applying for reinstatement and must divest from any medical practice or financial interests tied to the profession.

Officials Take a Hard Line

New Jersey Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin minced no words in response to the case, stating:

“We will not tolerate medical professionals who violate the strict prohibition against any form of sexual contact during professional interactions.”

Division of Consumer Affairs Director Cari Fais added:

“When physicians use their positions of trust to prey on vulnerable individuals behind closed doors, the harm to their victims can be profound and long-lasting.”

Crackdown on Medical Misconduct

The move against Perez is part of a larger crackdown on medical professionals accused of sexual misconduct in New Jersey. State authorities have been aggressive in revoking licenses and encouraging victims to come forward.

Anyone who believes they have been a victim of misconduct by a medical professional is urged to contact the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs or local law enforcement.

The Garden State Gazette will continue to follow this case and provide updates as new details emerge.
