Father Sentenced to 25 Years for Forcing Son to Run on Treadmill Resulting in Death
Christopher Gregor was sentenced to 25 years in prison for forcing his 6-year-old son to repeatedly run on a high-speed treadmill, leading to the child's tragic death two weeks later.
In a heartbreaking case that shocked many, Christopher Gregor, a father from New Jersey, was sentenced to 25 years in prison for the death of his son, Corey Micciolo, aged 6.
The court heard how Gregor made his son use a speeding treadmill as a method of discipline, even after the child fell multiple times. Tragically, Corey passed away two weeks later from fatal injuries sustained during the treadmill incidents.
Prosecutors detailed that Gregor deliberately increased the treadmill speed while the child was on it, causing him to repeatedly fall and sustain serious injuries. Surveillance footage showed Gregor carrying his son's limp body to the hospital, where Corey later died from blunt force injuries to his chest and stomach.
Despite Gregor's claims of innocence and lack of intent to harm his son, the court found him guilty of manslaughter and endangering the welfare of a child, ensuring he serves at least 85% of his sentence before being eligible for parole.
Corey's mother, Breanna Micciolo, expressed her devastation, urging the judge to impose the maximum penalty on Gregor for his actions. The tragic case serves as a reminder of the devastating consequences of child abuse and neglect.
The community mourns the loss of young Corey Micciolo and seeks justice for the heinous act committed by his own father, Christopher Gregor.
