Winnipeg police have laid four more charges of sexual assault against a Winnipeg dentist.

Ronald Walter Peterson, 68, was originally charged in November 2014.

Charges related to five male victims under the age of 16 between January 1998 and May 2014, said police.

On May 22, 2015, police announced charges related to four other people who had come forward.

Police said the new victims ranged in age from 11 to 18 at the time of the alleged offences, between January 1, 1986 and December 31, 1993.

Along with facing four more charges for sexual assault, Peterson also faces a charge for overcoming resistance to commission an offence, said police.
