Peel police have charged Magna International founder Frank Stronach with five additional counts of sexual assault against three complainants.

Under the new charges filed last week by Peel Regional Police, Mr. Stronach faces a total of 18 charges involving 13 women. The latest charges – rape, indecent assault on a woman and sexual assault – stem from incidents that allegedly occurred in Toronto between 1981 and 1986; and between 1993 and 1994 in Gormley, Ont., according to court documents.

The allegations have not been proven in court, but Mr. Stronach’s lawyer has said he will deny the allegations.
