Five months after police charged a sonographer in connection with the sexual assault of a female patient at a clinic in southeast Edmonton, police say investigators believe other patients may have been victims and are hoping they come forward if that is the case.
Police did not say what clinic the assault is alleged to have occurred in.
Police said the assault occurred in “mid 2024” and alleged that a patient was assaulted while medical imaging work was being done at the clinic.
On Aug. 12, 2024, police charged 53-year-old Aasim Syed Ahmed with one count of sexual assault. On Wednesday, police issued a news release in which they revealed there could be more victims, and added investigators believe Ahmed may still be practising as a sonographer.
