Cecil Wolfe has been charged with an additional count of sexual assault after continued investigation by the Saskatchewan RCMP.
Wolfe was first charged with one count of sexual assault in September 2021 by the Saskatoon Police sex crimes unit.
Police were concerned there may be other victims and asked anyone with information to call them.
Since then, Wolfe has been charged with six more sexual assault offences under RCMP jurisdiction, including the new charge.

Investigators believe there may be other victims from the past 20 years in the communities of Loon Lake, Blaine Lake, Muskeg Lake Cree Nation, Saskatoon and surrounding areas.
