The accused has already been charged with one count of sexual assault.

In a media release last week, police say the alleged assault happened on July 16 at 9:41 a.m. at the victim’s residence near the Broadview Ave and Mortimer Ave. area.

Alcala is employed by Spectrum Health Care and a statement released by the service provider last week said they are “co-operating fully” with police with an internal investigation also launched surrounding the allegation.

Police believe there may be more victims and anyone with information is urged to come forward.
