A former Yorkton doctor is accused of sexually assaulting women patients going back as far as 2001.

The investigation involves a dozen women who reported similar experiences between 2001 and 2008.

None of the women knew each other and they came from different backgrounds.

The head of the Yorkton municipal RCMP, S/Sgt. Greg Nichol, commended the women for stepping forward.

Nichol told an afternoon news conference there may be more victims and he is asking them to come forward.

Seventy-one-year-old Dr. Mohammad Haque was arrested in London, Ontario.

Haque is facing six charges of sexual assault against six women.

He will make his court appearance in Yorkton on Monday.
