Victims reported inappropriate touching both over and under their clothing. Police stated in their social media post:

Evidence in support of Noorda’s arrest indicates his conduct during chiropractic appointments involved inappropriate touching of body parts for sexual gratification, which was criminal in nature, and not in keeping with professional medical standards.
