Regina Chiropractor Convicted of Sexual Assault on One Patient

Ruben Manz was found guilty on one of seven charges, acquitted on five, and faced a mistrial on another after a four-week trial.

Ruben Manz, a 49-year-old chiropractor from Regina, was accused of sexually assaulting seven female patients over a decade.
The jury convicted Manz of one count of sexual assault, acquitted him of five others, and declared a mistrial on the remaining charge.
The allegations involved Manz allegedly touching patients' breasts without consent during neck-stretching procedures.
The defense argued that the actions were part of legitimate chiropractic treatment and accused the complainants of being influenced by investigators.
Justice Janet McMurty will set a sentencing date after the jury's late-night verdict on December 1, 2024.
