How to set the response content type in REST Assured?

In our project we are facing an issue where response content type is application/json; charset="utf-8". While parsing the response object we are getting the below error.

How we can resolve this?

I guess we can resolve this by setting the response content type as "application/json". But I am not getting how to do it . I tried below ways of doing it but dint work. Please suggest. 

RestAssured.responseContentType(ContentType.JSON); ( I think it is a depricated method)

RestAssured.responseSpecification.response().contentType(ContentType.JSON);

Error we are getting while validating the response is : java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException: "utf-8" at java.lang.StringCoding.decode(StringCoding.java:190) at java.lang.String.(String.java:426) at java.lang.String.(String.java:491) at sun.reflect.NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance(NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.java:62) at sun.reflect.DelegatingConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance(DelegatingConstructorAccessorImpl.java:45) at java.lang.reflect.Constructor.newInstance(Constructor.java:423) at org.codehaus.groovy.reflection.CachedConstructor.invoke(CachedConstructor.java:77) at org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.callsite.ConstructorSite$ConstructorSiteNoUnwrapNoCoerce.callConstructor(ConstructorSite.java:102) at org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.callsite.CallSiteArray.defaultCallConstructor(CallSiteArray.java:57) at org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.callsite.AbstractCallSite.callConstructor(AbstractCallSite.java:182) at org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.callsite.AbstractCallSite.callConstructor(AbstractCallSite.java:194) at com.jayway.restassured.internal.RestAssuredResponseOptionsGroovyImpl.charsetToString(RestAssuredResponseOptionsGroovyImpl.groovy:482) at com.jayway.restassured.internal.RestAssuredResponseOptionsGroovyImpl$charsetToString$3.callCurrent(Unknown Source) at org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.callsite.CallSiteArray.defaultCallCurrent(CallSiteArray.java:49) at org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.callsite.AbstractCallSite.callCurrent(AbstractCallSite.java:133) at org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.callsite.AbstractCallSite.callCurrent(AbstractCallSite.java:141) at com.jayway.restassured.internal.RestAssuredResponseOptionsGroovyImpl.asString(RestAssuredResponseOptionsGroovyImpl.groovy:169) at com.jayway.restassured.internal.RestAssuredResponseOptionsGroovyImpl.asString(RestAssuredResponseOptionsGroovyImpl.groovy:165) at com.jayway.restassured.internal.RestAssuredResponseOptionsImpl.asString(RestAssuredResponseOptionsImpl.java:193)

This error is thrown at the below code

resp.then().body(path, is(value));

The presence of "utf-8" might be causing the issue. I am not sure. So I want to set the content type of response to only "application/json" and not application/json; charset="utf-8"

You can set Response content with contentType() on response() For e.g.

Response res =  given().response().contentType("Your content type");
