Last Updated Jun 26, 2024 at 1:57 pm MDT

Police say billionaire businessman Frank Stronach is facing eight new charges after investigators identified additional victims of alleged sexual assaults.

Peel Regional Police say the 91-year-old was arrested again today and charged with six counts of sexual assault, one count of attempted rape and one count of indecent assault on a female.

They did not immediately provide details of those allegations.

Police had charged Stronach earlier this month with one count of rape, one count of indecent assault on a female, one count of forcible confinement and two counts of sexual assault.

Court documents related to those charges show that Stronach was accused of sexually assaulting three different complainants in alleged incidents that dated back to the 1980s.

Stronach’s lawyer Brian Greenspan said at the time that his client categorically denies the allegations against him.
