KENNEBUNK — Clifford Faldman, a Kennebunk chiropractor who faced a charge of unlawful sexual touching, was found not guilty after a jury trial in Alfred concluded last week.

Faldman also recently re-opened his practice, said his lawyer, James Martemucci.

"He feels absolutely vindicated," Martemucci said of his client. "He knew the charges were false from the beginning. He's pleased he's had his day in court and that the jury found in his favor."

Faldman's license to practice was reactivated Aug. 27 following 210 days of suspension stemming from charges of sexual misconduct with patients.

Faldman, 55, has a history of complaints against him by patients. His chiropractic license was suspended for 180 days, plus an additional 30 days earlier this year, said Doug Dunbar, from the Maine State Office of Licensing and Registration.

Dunbar said Faldman was given an additional 30-day suspension on top of the original 180 days after two new complaints were received. A hearing on those complaints took place Sept. 24. While the board found Faldman did not violate rules or ethics in regard to those two complaints, he does face censure for violating a previous agreement.
