Jailed Munising chiropractor allegedly assaulted by deputy

MUNISING, MI--   An Alger County Sheriff’s deputy is under investigation for allegedly assaulting a Munising chiropractor jailed on sexual assault charges. 

George Young, 54, is charged with six counts of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct.  He allegedly felt the breasts of the victims during chiropractic adjustments. 

Now police are investigating a possible assault by a deputy against Young, who was not injured in the incident.  Officials say police internal affairs are handling the case, and will likely use the services of a special prosecutor. 

A pretrial hearing for Young is set for February 20 in Alger County Circuit Court.
