The Lyon County Attorney’s office charged Eric Hawkins of Emporia on Monday with raping a patient who was 15 or 16 at the time of the incident. Court documents allege the assault occurred between October 1 and November 30, 2015.

Hawkins was charged in August with two counts of sexual battery involving a 22-year-old and a 32-year-old patient. He is scheduled to appear in court on those charges Thursday.

Hawkins chiropractor’s license was suspended in July pending the outcome of the court cases.
