Group home resident indicted

The jury also returned indictments for 22 others.
YOUNGSTOWN -- A Mahoning County grand jury has indicted a group home resident on a murder charge in the March 11 choking death of another resident.
Indicted on Thursday was James R. DiCioccio, 50, of the Illinois Avenue group home, who remains jailed with bond set at 1 million. DiCiocco is accused of choking Stephen A. Lawson, 34, during a fight at the group home for mentally ill men. Lawson died soon after the fight in St. Elizabeth Health Center.
Also indicted was Dr. Gregory S. Dew, 45, of Kelly Park Road, Columbiana, a chiropractor, who was charged with three counts of sexual battery. Dew, who is free on 8,000 bond, was charged with having sexual contact with a girl he was coaching at the Youngstown Gymnastic Center in Boardman beginning when she was 15 in 1990 and ending in 1992. The charges pertain to events that occurred before he became a chiropractor.
After Boardman police arrested Dew on March 15, he was fired from the Physicians Diagnostic and Rehabilitation Center on Trailwood Drive.
The recent investigation was triggered by a complaint from a female patient that Dew inappropriately touched her in October. No charges stemmed from that allegation, but police discovered and began investigating the 1990 complaint again, called Dew in for questioning and arrested him after he gave a statement on the 17-year-old complaint. The statute of limitations for cases involving sex with a minor extends for 20 years after the accuser's 18th birthday.
