Chiropractor found guilty of 1 count of sexual assault in Regina [Video]

After being sequestered for more than 57 hours, a 12-person jury has found Regina chiropractor Ruben Manz guilty of one count of sexual assault.

Facing a total of seven charges, the jury found Manz not guilty of five charges but was unable to come to a unanimous decision for the remaining count.

The jury’s decision came at around 10:30 p.m. on Sunday.

First arrested in April of 2021, Manz faced allegations stemming from incidents spanning more than a decade from seven former clients he provided chiropractic treatment.

“We are pleased justice has been done,” Crown prosecutor Jackie Lane told reporters after the verdict was handed down Sunday night. “[There] was a very diligent hardworking jury here who had strong evidence to deal with.”

The victim related to the guilty verdict was the woman who first brought the complaint to police in spring 2021.
