A Lethbridge man is facing additional sexual assault charges, due in part to a social media post.

Police launched an investigation back in May after being alerted to a post alleging multiple women had been assaulted by the same man.

Investigators looking into the accusation spoke with a 35-year-old woman who said she was sexually assaulted in April 2019 after going to an acquaintance’s home and accepting a drink from him.

The incident had not previously been reported to police.

Landon Byron Kern Waters, 36, was then charged with sexual assault in June.

At the time, police released a photo of Waters and encouraged additional victims to come forward.

On Friday, police announced three additional sexual assault charges against Waters in connection with incidents between 2009 and 2022.

He’s also charged with two counts of assault with a weapon and two counts of administering a drug to overcome resistance.

Waters has been released from custody and is scheduled to appear in court on Aug. 26.
