Three patients of former Manhattan chiropractor Clark Petersen testified Tuesday afternoon as character witnesses for Petersen, who faces 60 counts of sex crimes against other former patients in Riley County District Court.
The three women all said they knew Petersen as a good chiropractor who helped them and had known him for at least 30 years. They all said they offered to testify on his behalf.
Though one woman, Marcia Harris, admitted her opinion of Petersen may change if the things 19 women allege Petersen did to them are ruled to be true, the other two appeared steadfast in their support.
