More sex assault charges laid against Hamilton doctor

More charges have been laid against a Hamilton doctor who's accused of sexually assaulting two female patients.

Police say a woman alleged she had been sexually assaulted by her doctor in June and a second complainant then alleged she had been sexually assaulted by the same doctor a month later.

Forty-eight-year-old Doctor Pierre Picard was charged with two counts of sexual assault last month.

Police say three more complainants have come forward and Picard now faces five new counts of sexual assault.
