Officers with the sexual assault unit began aninvestigation and discovered another woman had reported being assaulted byHuehn in January 2016.

Information from both cases led to the arrest of the Dundas residentwho has been charged with two counts of sexual assault.

College holding disciplinaryhearing

A notice of hearing posted by the College of Chiropractors of Ontario alleges Huehn"sexually abused a patient" between Nov. 12, 2015 and Jan 12. 2016.

The document describes his alleged actions as"engaging inconduct or performed an act or acts, that ...would reasonably be regarded by members as disgraceful, dishonourable or unprofessional."

A discipline hearing where both the college and Heuhn will both be able to argue their case was scheduled for June 25, according toJo-Ann Willson, registrar and general counsel for the college, but it was adjourned and a new date has not been announced.

More victims possible

Willson said the fact that Huehnhas been charged and that police believe asecond patient was also assaulted was new information for her.

She added, generally speaking, when it comes to incidents involvingsexual assault, the college will contact police and ask that limits to keep a chiropractor from seeing patients alone, or at all during their trial, be included as bail conditions.
