WYOMING -- As Gregory Alan Freeman finished a chiropractic treatment of a female patient, police said he invited the woman to get naked as payment for the service.

That question was preceded by the chiropractor reaching inside the victim's shirt and grabbing her breasts, commenting "these are nice," police said in an arrest affidavit filed in Wyoming District Court.

Freeman, 49, of Wayland, was arraigned Tuesday on three counts of fourth-degree criminal-sexual conduct, a high-court misdemeanor punishable by up to two years in prison.

The allegation says he used force or coercion in separate sexual assaults on Jan. 28 and 29 while he treated two women in his office at 1160 36th St. SW, near Michael Avenue.

"After the treatment, (the victim) says she was asked by (the defendant) to expose her breasts and vagina to (him) as payment," investigators wrote in the arrest affidavit.

The woman also reported that Freeman grabbed her butt as she walked up the stairs from a downstairs exam room.

Police accuse Freeman of assaulting another woman. In that instance, he allegedly accosted a patient when he inappropriately "tapped her breasts in a way not deemed to be clinical," court records show.

He also allegedly commented about her breasts in a sexual manner, police said. Freeman briefly was jailed, then was freed on bond. He is scheduled to appear in court for a Dec. 23 probable cause hearing.
