ELIZABETHTOWN, Ky. (AP) - A Kentucky chiropractor has been arrested on sex charges involving juvenile patients, authorities said.
Matthew J. Colasanti, 32, who operates Colasanti Chiropractic in Elizabethtown, was charged Monday with first-degree rape and first-degree sexual abuse, news outlets reported, citing police and court records.
One juvenile told police Colasanti offered to give her a back adjustment on Nov. 25 and then raped her while she was lying face down on a table, an arrest citation said.
Another girl said Colasanti touched her inappropriately while adjusting her back during visits from April through June, the arrest citation said.
Elizabethtown Police Department spokesman John Thomas said police are not aware of other allegations.
“We aren’t making any assumptions about the possibility of other victims,” Thomas said. “If there are other victims we urge them to come forward.”
Colasanti was being held at the Hardin County jail. Online records don’t indicate whether he has an attorney.
