Ruben Manz trial: Crown wraps up case, defence to begin arguments Thursday [Video]

The Crown has presented their case against a Regina chiropractor charged for sexual assault.

Manz faces a total of seven counts of sexual assault. He was first arrested in April of 2021 after two former clients came forward, alleging they were subjected to “inappropriate and unwanted actions” during their chiropractic treatments.

He is being tried by jury.

All seven alleged victims took the stand over the past two weeks of proceedings.

The victims claimed that Manz’s alleged actions “Could not be categorized as a necessary part of the treatment.”

In its opening statement November 4, the Crown outlined the allegations faced by the accused.

“Manz reached under their shirts and bras of the women,” the Crown explained. “You will hear that every one of the women felt very uncomfortable because of this touching. Each of these women will tell you that this touching was done without their consent.”
