Security video from March 20, 2021, captured Gregor allegedly placing the boy on a treadmill over and over again as he struggled to maintain his footing. The gym was located inside the Atlantic Heights apartment complex in Barnegat where Gregor lived. Corey is seen falling off the treadmill half a dozen times. Prosecutors say this led to bruising on the boy’s body.
The jury rejected a murder charge.
Gregor faces up to 30 years in prison when he is sentenced.
