An orthopedic surgeon who had improper sexual contact with two female patients during what he claimed were standard medical exams was found guilty today of two counts of gross sexual imposition and one count of tampering with records.

Dr. Jake Heiney, 41, of Lambertville faces up to three years in prison when he is sentenced Friday by Lucas County Common Pleas Judge Gene Zmuda.

The jury of six men and six women deliberated approximately four hours Tuesday and today before returning the guilty verdicts.

During Heiney's trial, a 42-year-old woman testified that the doctor pushed and squeezed her breasts during an exam for shoulder pain. No one else was in the exam room at the time, she said.

A 33-year-old patient said she also was alone with Heiney when he asked her to bend over and touch her toes, and he abruptly pulled her pants and underwear to her knees and felt her behind, side, and upper thigh. His hand also brushed her private area, she said.

Prosecutors also presented evidence that after Sylvania police and the Ohio State Medical Board began their investigations, Heiney altered one of the women's records.

The judge revoked Heiney’s bond and officers put him in handcuffs and led him out of the courtroom to jail after the verdict this morning.

Separately, Heiney still faces criminal charges in Monroe County stemming from similar allegations at his Lambertville office. He is charged with four counts of criminal sexual conduct in Monroe County Circuit Court.

Heiney closed both his practice in Sylvania and in Lambertville last summer after the charges were lodged.
