Middlesex County officials reported that an Old Bridge husband and wife were sentenced on July 9, 2024, in connection with the unlicensed practice of medicine and two sexual assaults that occurred in July 2022.
Prosecutor Yolanda Ciccone said the investigation, led by Detective Jessica Caffey of the Old Bridge Police Department, revealed that on July 20, 2022, an adult female victim sought medical treatment at the residence of Orger Sibaja-Bolanos, 67, of Old Bridge, who posed as a doctor.
Sibaja-Bolanos sexually assaulted her and administered injections. It was later determined that he was not a licensed medical doctor.
Sibaja-Bolanos was subsequently arrested and charged with second-degree sexual assault, third-degree aggravated assault, and third-degree unlicensed practice of medicine.
On August 8, 2022, Prosecutor Yolanda Ciccone said a second adult female victim came forward.
Further investigation revealed that Sibaja-Bolanos had sexually assaulted her and given her injections on multiple occasions in July 2022.
He faced additional charges of second-degree sexual assault, third-degree unlicensed practice of medicine, and third-degree financial facilitation.
The investigation also uncovered that Sibaja-Bolanos’s wife, Rosa Perez, 64, of Old Bridge, assisted in the unlicensed medical practice.
Perez was charged with third-degree unlicensed practice of medicine, third-degree conspiracy to commit the unlicensed practice of medicine, and third-degree financial facilitation.
Perez pled guilty to third-degree conspiracy to commit the unlicensed practice of medicine on October 23, 2023.
Sibaja-Bolanos pled guilty to two counts of second-degree sexual assault on January 1, 2024.
On July 9, 2024, before the Honorable Sheree V. Pitchford, J.S.C., Sibaja-Bolanos was sentenced to an aggregate term of 10 years in the New Jersey Department of Corrections, under the No Early Release Act (NERA), requiring him to serve 85 percent of his sentence before parole eligibility.
Upon release, he must register as a sex offender under Megan’s Law and will be under parole supervision for life.
Perez was sentenced to three years of probation, with the condition that she serves 364 days in the Middlesex County Adult Correctional Facility if she violates the terms of her probation.
