A former Batavia chiropractor, David Hansen, was sentenced to 60 years in prison after pleading guilty in September to producing child sexual abuse material, a broadcast report said Wednesday.
The case centers on Hansen secretly recording patients, according to the report, which did not specify additional details about who was recorded.
One victim described the lasting effect of the case in a statement aired as part of the report. “It’s hard for me to go to other medical places and trusting doctors,” the victim said.
The report did not name the court in which Hansen was sentenced, specify the number of victims involved, or say whether he faces additional charges related to disseminating the material.
Hansen’s chiropractic license status following his conviction was not addressed in the report, and no information on a possible appeal was available Wednesday.
The sentencing closes out a case that began with the discovery of recordings made without patients’ knowledge, according to the report.
