A massage therapist is facing a growing number of charges. 

Dean Cherneske, 60, was charged with one count of sexual assault after a complaint in late April. 

"A female youth reports she was sexually assaulted during a massage session at a home massage therapy business," Strathcona County RCMP said in a release. 

Since the RCMP issued the release and asked for others to come forward, police have identified another 13 victims, ranging from six to 68-years-old. 

The Sherwood Park massage therapist is facing 11 more counts of sexual assault and two counts of sexual interference. 

Cherneske has been released from police custody with conditions and is set to appear in court on Wednesday (June 29). 

"Strathcona County RCMP continue to believe there may be additional victims and encourage those individuals to come forward."
