    Expert witnesses testified Friday and Monday in the trial of Clark Petersen, a chiropractor charged with rape and other sex crimes against his clients.

    Petersen, a Manhattan man, is now in the second week of his trial in Riley County District Court. He is charged with 64 counts of sex crimes, ranging from rape to aggravated sexual battery to aggravated criminal sodomy, against 19 women.
