Christopher Gregor faces homicide charges after allegedly forcing his six-year-old son to undergo extreme treadmill sessions, resulting in the child’s death. The case, highlighted by distressing video evidence and a history of reported abuse, is currently under trial in New Jersey.
Christopher Gregor, a father from New Jersey, is facing homicide charges after allegedly subjecting his six-year-old son, Corey Micciolo, to extreme treadmill workouts. The incident resulted in Corey’s collapse and subsequent death from a fatal blow to the heart. Court presentations included video evidence of Gregor increasing the treadmill’s speed as Corey struggled and fell multiple times.
The prosecution claims this abuse was part of a pattern of neglect and cruelty. Corey’s mother, who had minimal contact with Gregor after he discovered he was Corey’s father and faced a child support lawsuit, described her son as a joyful child fascinated with the solar system and outdoor play.
Prior to Corey’s death, his mother had contacted child protection services regarding his injuries and urged Gregor to seek medical attention for their son. The ongoing trial in New Jersey highlights the forensic findings, which attributed Corey’s death to prolonged abuse. Gregor is currently held without bond as the trial progresses.
