Guilty verdict for chiropractor

Published: October 02, 2008 6:00 PM

A 53-year-old Comox chiropractor has been found guilty by a provincial court jury of sexually assaulting five of his female patients by fondling their breasts.

Practising in the Comox Valley since 1992, Dr. Peter Titchener was initially charged with seven counts of sexual assault, but the jury acquitted him on two of the charges. None of the victims were identified due to a court-ordered publication ban.

The incidents for which Titchener was convicted this week happened between January 2004 and October 2005. Titchener returns to court Monday to fix a date for his sentencing hearing.
