Calgary police have doled out more charges against a man accused of a string of sexual assaults in the downtown core.
On April 2, at around 1:40 p.m. in the East Village community, police said the sexual assaults began and a suspect was arrested roughly half an hour later.
At the time, CPS believed a man groped women at random as he travelled through the 600 block of 6 Street S.E. and the City Hall LRT station.
Security camera footage captured images of the suspect entering a nearby grocery store where he is also alleged to have committed additional offences.
