Former chiropractor found guilty on 4 rape counts
YOUNGSTOWN — A seven-man, five-woman jury has found Dr. Gregory S. Dew, a former Boardman chiropractor, guilty of four counts of rape, two counts of gross sexual imposition and one count of corruption of a minor.
The jury deliberated for about 10 hours at the end of a weeklong trial before delivering its verdicts early this evening to Judge R. Scott Krichbaum of Mahoning County Common Pleas Court.
Dr. Dew, 46, of Kelly Park Road, Columbiana, faces three to 48 years in prison when he is sentenced at noon Monday, depending on whether the sentences are imposed at minimum or maximum levels, and whether they are concurrent or consecutive.
Dr. Dew was convicted of sex crimes committed between 1990 and 1992 against two of his female former gymnastics students, who were then between the ages of 15 and 17, before he became a chiropractor. He also was convicted of sex crimes against two adult female patients in his chiropractic practice between 2005 and 2007.
The judge revoked Dr. Dew’s bail, and he was handcuffed by a deputy sheriff and taken to Mahoning County Jail.
