A Halifax massage therapist who was arrested in March on a charge of sexually assaulting a female client last December now faces more allegations involving other women.
Halifax Regional Police announced the new charges against Sergii Kozub, 43, in a news release Tuesday.
Police said additional complainants came forward after the original charge against Kozub was publicized in March.

Kozub will be arraigned in Halifax provincial court June 5 on five counts of sexual assault.
According to court documents, the offences were allegedly committed against five female clients between November 2023 and November 2024.
Police did not say where the incidents allegedly happened.
“Out of respect and concern for the victims’ privacy and well-being, no further details will be released,” police said.
Kozub was arrested on the new charges April 10 and released on an undertaking to police that requires him to remain in Nova Scotia, notify HRP of any change in his address or employment, have no contact with the complainants, and not attend their residences or workplaces.
The first charge against Kozub involves a woman who alleges she was sexually assaulted last Dec. 9 during an appointment at Massage Addict on Lacewood Drive in Halifax.

Kozub was arrested March 5 and released on an undertaking that stipulated that he remain in the province, surrender his passport, not communicate with the complainant and stay away from her residence.
He tried to get his release conditions changed to allow him to travel out of country for a vacation, but a judge denied his application March 21. The reasons for the judge’s decision cannot be reported because of a publication ban on details of the variation hearing.
There’s also a publication ban on the identity of the first complainant.
Kozub was arraigned on the original charge April 16 and is due back in provincial court May 5 for election and plea on that matter.
On Tuesday, police said their investigation into Kozub is ongoing.

“There is no statute of limitation on sexual assaults,” the news release said. “Anyone who has been the victim of a sexual assault is encouraged to contact police. Victims will be treated with compassion, dignity and respect throughout the entire investigative process.”
An online biography says Kozub graduated from a massage therapy program in February 2023 and was registered with the Massage Therapists’ Association of Nova Scotia.
The association has suspended Kozub’s membership pending the outcome of an internal investigation.
The organization’s website notes massage therapy is not a regulated health profession in Nova Scotia. That means that if the association puts limitations on a member or revokes membership, the therapist could legally choose to continue working in the province without being a member of the association.
