Chiropractor faces new sexual assault charges

Update: Court documents obtained by CTV News Toronto show Allan Bortnick was found not guilty on all charges, in a ruling issued on April 18, 2018.

A chiropractor and naturopath is facing further sexual assault charges following a months-long police investigation.

The man, who works in the Eglinton Avenue West and Allen Road area, is now the suspect in a total of five sexual assaults.

He was initially charged in April, after a patient told police she'd been sexually assaulted during a treatment. The same man was charged again in July, when a second patient came forward.

Months later, police said three more patients had reported being assaulted by a specialist during treatments in Toronto.

The first assault is alleged to have occurred in October, 2003. The second patient reported being assaulted during a period between January and December, 2008. The third was assaulted on March 2011.

In a statement on Wednesday, police said the same man had been arrested again, and charged with three more counts of sexual assault.

As a result of the investigation, 66-year-old Allan Bortnick faces a total of five sexual assault charges in connection with the case.

Police said they believe there may be more victims, and ask anyone with more information to contact them at 416-808-1304. Tips can also be left anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 416-222-8477 (TIPS).
