Calgary police say additional sexual assault charges have been  filed against  an elderly man who worked as a volunteer sponsor  to help families immigrate to  Canada.
Robert Edward Choquette, 83, of Calgary, was charged with three counts of sexual assault in November after allegedly sexually  assaulting newcomers he was assigned to help through a local  organization.
On Tuesday, police announced  that two more victims had been  identified.
One of the victims alleged  that Choquette  took advantage of his position as a volunteer sponsor to take advantage of their immigration status to commit sexual  offences.

The second victim alleges  that Choquette physically assaulted him  multiple times in 1967 when he was a student and Choquette was a  teacher. The new charges  against Choquette include four counts of sexual assault and one count of criminal  harassment.
He was also charged with three counts of  assault with a firearm causing bodily harm under the Criminal  Code 1967.
He will appear in court on  January 29.
In Canada, there is no time limit on reporting sexual assault. Anyone who believes they  have been a victim of sexual assault is encouraged to report it, even if  it has been several years since the incident.
