A retired Ottawa chiropractor has been found guilty of two cases of indecent assault and one case of sexual assault involving former patients.
Michael Beaton, 77, was convicted Thursday of assaulting three male patients who had sought treatment from him for neck and back pain.
Two of the incidents happened in 1979 at Beaton's office, according to court documents, while the third occurred in 2003 at his home clinic.
The patients had been lying on his treatment bed in various states of undress, court heard, when Beaton fondled them.
Beaton is expected to be sentenced in August.
