Dr. Stephen Boyd made his first court appearance Friday morning on rape and sex related charges in Butler County Common Pleas Court. The longtime Hamilton chiropractor is accused of sexually abusing several ex-patients between November of 1998- July of 2017. Bond was set at 200-thousand dollars, and Boyd has been ordered to stay away from his alleged victims, and anyone between the ages of 10 and 18. Hamilton police believe there could be more victims in the case, and they've set up a special hotline at (513) 868-5811 extension 1009. 

A pre-trial hearing has been set for January 12th at 1pm.
