A trial date has been set for a former Vernon chiropractor accused of sexual assault.

A pre-trial conference on Wednesday confirmed that Murray Stephen Kievit will go on trial on Jan. 15 in Vernon provincial court.

The former doctor is facing two complaints from one person for incidents alleged to have occurred in December 2021.

Earlier this year, the College of Chiropractors of British Columbia permanently cancelled Kievit’s registration.

An inquiry committee made a consent order against Kievit after a complaint alleging inappropriate touching in the course of treatment, allegations that Kievit denied.
