On November 15, 2022, a disciplinary panel of the Texas State Board of Acupuncture Examiners temporarily suspended, with notice, the Texas acupuncturist license of Simel Eric Osborne Jenkins-Bey, L.Ac. (Lic. No. AC00873), after determining his continuation in the practice of acupuncture poses a continuing threat to public welfare. The suspension was effective immediately.
The Board panel found that on June 17, 2021, Mr. Jenkins-Bey was arrested by the Austin Police Department for a misdemeanor offense of indecent assault which involved a patient.
The temporary suspension remains in place until the Board takes further action.
