Retired doctor facing 21 counts of sex assault

A retired Calgary neurologist is now facing 21 sexual assault charges after more than a dozen new alleged victims have come forward, police say.

In June, Dr. Keith Mordin Hoyte was charged with three counts of sexual assault after a woman told police she was touched sexually during a medical exam in 2007.

An investigation revealed two other historical cases with similar allegations against the same doctor, leading police to lay three counts of sexual assault against Hoyte.
