OSKALOOSA, IOWA (AP) --  

Jurors have convicted an Oskaloosa chiropractor accused of sexually abusing patients.

The jury convicted Jason Ebelsheiser on Friday of one count of third-degree sexual abuse, two counts of assault with intent to commit sexual abuse, and one count of tampering with medical records.

The jury found Ebelsheiser not guilty of two counts of third-degree sexual abuse and couldn't reach a verdict on
two other sexual abuse counts. The conviction came after a two-week trial in which seven female patients testified they had sought treatment and were shocked when Ebelsheiser touched their genitals.

Ebelsheiser testified he never touched the woman inappropriately. Sentencing is set for Jan. 6.
