An Ogden chiropractor's sentencing has been delayed so that he can receive a psychosexual evaluation.

Michael W. Wimmer, 68, was scheduled to be sentenced Wednesday for allegedly clutching a female patient's breasts and buttocks during an appointment. But his sentencing was delayed until Aug. 5, to make time for the evaluation.

Wimmer pleaded guilty last month to lewdness with prior offense, a third-degree felony, as part of a plea deal. He was originally charged with forcible sexual abuse, a second-degree felony.

On June 25, 2014, Wimmer assaulted the woman during an appointment at Wimmer Chiropractic Center, 413 Washington Blvd. in Ogden, according to charges.

In a plea agreement document, Wimmer admitted performing an act of lewdness "under circumstances which he should have known were likely to cause affront or alarm to another person."

Ogden police Lt. Danielle Croyle has said that while investigating the woman's allegations, detectives found it was not the first time Wimmer had purportedly participated in "similar inappropriate and criminal behavior."

Prosecutor Ben Willoughby previously said of Wimmer's two prior lewdness convictions that one occurred in California in the 1970s, and the other was in Utah in 1994. Department of Professional Licensing records show that in November 1994, Wimmer pleaded no contest to misdemeanor lewdness involving a patient.

DOPL records also show that in October 2006, Wimmer's license was revoked after he stipulated to having acted in "an inappropriately sexual manner" with another female patient, but DOPL stayed the revocation on condition of a three-year probation.

One of the terms of Wimmer's 2006 probation was that he undergo, at his own expense, a psychosexual evaluation. In October 2009, having met the probationary terms, his license was formally reinstated.
