Chronic abuse?
Gregor was arrested and charged in March 2022. Christopher Gregor was charged with killing his 6-year-old son Corey three years ago in Stafford Township. He was found guilty of endangering the welfare of a child and aggravated manslaughter.
”She’s a special kind of dirtbag,” Gregor said, referring to Corey’s mother, Breanna Micciolo. Corey Micciolo died from blunt force trauma and lacerations to his heart and liver, according to autopsy reports. His father, Christopher Gregor, forced his son to run on a treadmill in March 2021.
He hated Breanna and tried to pin the blame on the mother. Micciolo gave birth to Corey when she was 17 and Gregor was 22. She raised Corey on her own for the first five years and then shared custody with Gregor after he petitioned the court for joint custody. Many speculate that he hated poor boy because he didn’t know he had a son, didn’t want to pay alimony, but didn’t want Corey either. Micciolo was a drug addict and it was one-night stand, allegedly. Whatever reasons might be Corey was suffering constant abuse, according to medical examiners, by the hand of someone who should have protected him, his father.
Christopher Gregor brought Corey to an emergency room. When he had found out that Corey is dead, he ran away. Police caught him. It’s heard in the video that he said that he had been a teacher. He was a math teacher and also graduated psychology.
The footage allegedly showed Corey (6) running on a treadmill as his father, Gregor, walked over to the exercise machine. The father began increasing the speed, causing Corey to stumble and fall. Whenever Corey fell off, Gregor would put him back on the treadmill and power it up further. At one point, he appeared to bite his son on the head in the video.
Days later, Corey was taken to see a doctor and said his father made him run on the treadmill because he was “too fat,” according to the NY Post. A day later, he was taken to the hospital after he began stumbling, having slurred speech, nausea, and trouble breathing after a nap. He suffered a seizure during a CT scan and died.
In July 2021, the Ocean County Medical Examiner’s Office determined Corey had “sustained injuries due to blunt force trauma.”
Though his legal team challenged that the child died of an infection during the trial, his mother took the stand and said she filed for sole custody of Corey after she saw bruises on him.
On Friday, May 31, 2024 following a month-long trial and nearly two days of juror deliberations, Christopher Gregor, 31, was found guilty of child endangerment and aggravated manslaughter for his son Corey Micciolo’s death. Gregor was found not guilty of first-degree murder.
Christopher Gregor is sentenced to 25 years for son’s death.
