A Sherwood Park school principal who was charged with sexual assault earlier this month was arrested again after another alleged victim came forward, police say.
Strathcona County RCMP say 42-year-old Amit Mali is facing an additional sex assault charge.
Police say a second woman contacted police on May 14 after law enforcement released details of Mali’s arrest earlier that day.
Mounties received a first report of sex assault from a woman on Feb. 2. Mali was initially charged with criminal harassment and three counts of sexual assault, at which point he was released on an undertaking.
Following the latest allegation, the accused was taken before a Justice of the Peace and remanded into custody. His next court appearance is May 29 in Sherwood Park.
Police say “with this newest victim coming forward, RCMP would like to encourage any other potential victims” to contact RCMP at 780-467-7741 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
