Grand Meadow chiropractor charged with criminal sexual conduct
Jun. 27—A Grand Meadow Chiropractor has been arrested and charged with criminal sexual conduct after he allegedly committed a sex act on a patient.
Dillon Carter Denisen, 42, has been charged with a single felony count of third degree criminal sexual conduct — prohibited occupational relationship. He made a first appearance in Mower County District Court Friday afternoon.
According to court documents, the alleged act took place on Wednesday, June 25, the second visit by the victim to Meadow Area Chiropractic Clinic in Grand Meadow. The first was two days earlier on Monday, June 23.
On both occasions, Denisen allegedly performed duties that made the patient feel uncomfortable by rubbing a pain-relief gel on the victim's hips. However, it was on the second visit that the act occurred.
According to the court complaint, when a detective from the Mower County Sheriff's Office arrived at the clinic to question Denisen, he became visibly distraught. When the detective pointed this out, Denisen allegedly said, "I'm sure you know why."
Denisen then allegedly admitted that he pulled down the victim's pants to apply the gel, and that it was not a part of normal treatment.
Denisen's next court appearance is an initial appearance set for July 10.
