Two North Jersey Physicians Lose Licenses Over Misconduct Allegations

**Trenton, NJ** – The State Board of Medical Examiners has permanently revoked the licenses of Humberto T. Perez and Ahmad “Nazir” Kahf, two physicians from North Jersey, following charges of alleged sexual misconduct. The decision was announced by Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin and the Division of Consumer Affairs.

Perez, who practiced family medicine in Jersey City, faced charges including two counts of second-degree sexual assault for inappropriate conduct during medical exams in July. Perez agreed to the license revocation to address the administrative allegations while the charges are still pending with the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office.

Kahf, a cardiologist in Haledon, had his license temporarily suspended in October 2023 after a woman recorded him allegedly committing fourth-degree criminal sexual contact during an office visit. In April, Kahf entered a pretrial intervention program, pausing his medical practice for the duration, with criminal charges to be dismissed upon successful completion.

Both physicians consented to the permanent revocation without admitting wrongdoing, barring them from future licensure and involvement in the medical practice in New Jersey. Deputy Attorney Generals from the Division of Law, under the Professional Boards

Monmouth County Officer Indicted on Misconduct Charges

**Freehold, NJ** – A Monmouth County Grand Jury has indicted a suspended Manalapan Township Police Department officer on 19 counts related to alleged misconduct involving two teenage girls. The indictment was announced Thursday by Monmouth County Prosecutor Raymond S. Santiago.

Kevin Ruditsky, 47, is facing multiple charges including second-degree Engaging in a Pattern of Official Misconduct. Additional charges include nine counts of second-degree Official Misconduct, three counts of third-degree Computer Criminal Activity, and three counts of third-degree Endangering the Welfare of a Child. He also faces charges of Hindering Apprehension, Impersonating a Law Enforcement Officer, and Stalking.

The investigation by the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office (MCPO) began last August after receiving information about inappropriate messages and photos sent by Ruditsky to a 16-year-old. The conduct reportedly started during the 2023 National Night Out event in Manalapan Township. Authorities allege that Ruditsky, in uniform at the event, engaged in further misconduct by pulling over the victim unlawfully and deactivating his cameras.
