(Dorchester County, SC) The owner of a health and wellness office in Monaca was arrested in South Carolina and charged with criminal sexual conduct and performing medical exams without a license.

Joshua Himes was arrested and charged in June.

Himes is originally from Monaca and operates a location of Pro Health Place on Brodhead Road and in South Carolina.

According to the Dorchester County Sheriff’s Department, a victim accused Himes of sexual assault.

Deputies found that Himes represented himself as a physician and performed medical exams at his practice during that investigation.

However, deputies learned that Himes did not have a medical license in South Carolina and is not legally permitted to practice medicine there.

According to jail records, Himes was released on a $40,000 bond the same day he was arrested.

Beaver County District Attorney Nate Bible noted that he is aware of the charges against Himes in South Carolina, but there have been no allegations made against him or his practice in Monaca.

A search of Pennsylvania state records does not show any medical licenses for anyone named “Joshua Himes” or “Josh Himes” in the state.
