CALGARY - A Calgary psychiatrist who frequently provided expert opinions in court now faces 21 charges of sexual assault, most of which allegedly took place during court-ordered visits.

Dr. Aubrey Levin, 71, was first arrested and charged in Calgary in March after allegations that he repeatedly assaulted a 36-year-old patient.

"Following this charge, the sex crimes unit was approached by numerous people alleging they, too, had been sexually assaulted by Dr. Levin during counselling sessions or court-ordered visits," Calgary Police Insp. Steve Barlow said Friday.

"These assaults allegedly occurred at Levin's office or examination room."

Levin has been charged with 20 additional counts of sexual assault involving 20 other patients, all men.

Barlow said most of the assaults allegedly took place during court-ordered visits, although he couldn't give an exact number. Some of the complaints came from people who are currently incarcerated.

Alberta Justice has been reviewing all criminal cases in which Levin offered testimony to ensure there were no miscarriages of justice.
