Westchester: May 2009 Archives
If you don't want to be upset while eating your Cheerios, I suggest you don't click on the 2nd District Court of Appeal's opinion, issued Wednesday, in the sexual assault case against former Westchester chiropractor Thomas Dickershaid.
While we knew about the allegations against Dickershaid (our last story on his sentencing is after the jump), we didn't hear any of the victims testify during his trial. Dickershaid, it seemed, liked to hug every woman who came through his office, and convinced the victims that their back and neck pain could be alleviated by his uninvited sexual molestations.
Dickershaid lost his appeal and will continue serving his 24-year prison sentence.
