Chiropractor found guilty of sex abuse
Four other felony counts representing three other patients were dismissed by the eight-member jury.
After deliberating into the evening Monday and returning early Tuesday morning to conclude, the jury agreed that Hildreth had crossed a criminal line during two separate procedures on a patient and former employee in late May 2007.
The former secretary testified that several times after work she allowed Hildreth to apply medication on her, but on two occasions the application began to become sexual, she testified during the trial.
"The issue is this, he shouldn't have been doing that procedure, and yet he did it," prosecutor Alex Ludlow told the jury Monday evening.
Hildreth will be sentenced May 2, but first must report to Adult Probation and Parole by March 27 to get a pre-sentence review.
