A former massage therapist in Halifax is facing new sexual assault charges.
In March, police arrested and charged Sergii Kozub, 43, with one count of sexual assault. In April, five additional sexual assault charges were laid.
On July 15, police laid two more sexual assault charges against Sergii Kozub. Mr. Kozub reappeared in Halifax Provincial Court on September 8 to face those charges.
Mr. Kozub was a massage therapist working at a business on Lacewood Drive in Halifax. The assaults are alleged to have taken place during appointments.
Additional charges represent more victims coming forward.
Out of respect and concern for the victims, no further details about the incidents will be released.
There is no statute of limitation on sexual assaults. Anyone who has been the victim of a sexual assault is encouraged to contact police. Victims will be treated with compassion, dignity and respect throughout the entire investigative process.
