EASTERN MONTGOMERY COUNTY, PA — An 80-year-old gynecologist accused of sexually assaulting multiple patients in New Jersey operated an Elkins Park office.
Jerome Check, of Melrose Park, was charged with three counts of second-degree sexual assault, the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office said.
He is listed as having an office on 7447 Old York Road in Elkins Park.
Authorities said that between December 2024 and March 2025, the reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist, was alone in rooms with patients during their appointments.
Two of these patients believed their visits were informational only, until Check said it was necessary to perform what the Prosecutor's Office called an "invasive" check.
Check was taken into custody in September and released after an appearance in Superior Court. His case is now being prepared for a grand jury.
Check practiced at multiple offices across New Jersey and Pennsylvania. It is unknown at this time whether there were any victims from his Elkins Park office.
Anyone who believes they may have also been a victim or who has other information is asked to contact 609-265-5035.
Callers should ask to speak with a detective in the Special Victims Unit.
Submissions can also be made through the Prosecutor's Office website or by emailing tips@mountlaurelpd.org.
