ORLANDO, Fla. — An Orlando chiropractor accused of sexually battering his patients was granted bond by an Orange County judge Tuesday.
Agostinho Rodrigues, 62, has been held in the Orange County jail on no bond since his Nov. 14 arrest on charges of sexual battery and battery.

Orlando police first arrested Rodrigues in October after a woman told investigators that Rodrigues had touched her inappropriately during a massage.
After his arrest, a second patient came forward and decided to press charges against Rodrigues after accusing him of sexually battering her as well.

In that case, the victim originally declined to participate in the investigation further.
Police said that after the other patient came forward in October, she changed her mind and said she would be willing to testify and prosecute in her case.
Investigators said both incidents happened at Rodrigues’ office at 1005 Virginia Drive.

At a hearing on Tuesday, Orange County judge Chad Alvaro set Rodrigues’ bond at $11,000 after finding that his bond had been improperly revoked.
In his order, Alvaro said that when Rodrigues was arrested in November, those offenses had occurred prior to his previous arrest. In order for the bond to have been revoked, he would have had to commit a new law violation, which did not occur.
