KINGWOOD, W.Va. — A former chiropractor in Preston County is facing charges for allegedly trying to initiate a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old patient.

A Preston County grand jury has indicted Stephen Dwight Herto, 47, of Bruceton Mills, on 13 charges total, including two counts of sexual abuse by a parent, guardian, custodian or a person in a position of trust.
