A 42-year-old Calgary bar manager, who was charged with the sexual assault of an employee last December, is now facing six new charges after more victims came forward.

In October, Calgary police charged bar manager Grant Lee Cichacki, a Calgary resident, with the sexual assault of an employee and since then six more victims have reported having a similar experience.

According to police, the six victims say the assaults happened between 2006 and 2019 and they all claim the incidents involved coworkers, employees and acquaintances.
