WYOMING -- A chiropractor already standing trial on three charges of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct was hit with four more charges Wednesday that will come to Kent County Circuit Court.

Wayland resident Gregory Alan Freeman continues to practice out of his 36th Street SW office but, under the terms of his bond, he must inform patients of the high court misdemeanor charges coming to trial on June 15.

According to court files, 49-year-old Freeman is accused of touching the breasts and buttocks of female patients more than a year ago and told one woman she could settle her outstanding bill by exposing herself. He faces up to two years in prison if convicted.

On Wednesday, Freeman's lawyer, Charles Rominger Jr., waived a probable cause hearing on behalf of his client on charges he touched the breasts of four other women in March, April and May of 2005, and a fourth woman sometime in 2002 or 2003.
