Former Kitchener, Ont., neurologist Jeffrey Sloka is facing two new sexual assault charges, weeks after a judge found him not guilty of dozens of previous counts.

Sloka made an appearance at the Waterloo Region Courthouse on Tuesday relating to the latest charges — separate counts of sexual assault stemming from alleged incidents in 2011 and 2013.

One complainant alleges being sexually assaulted between August 2011 and February 2013, according to court documents obtained by CBC News.

A second complainant alleges sexual assault happened in June 2013.

The names of the complainants can’t be published due to a publication ban.

Crown appealing acquittals

The new charges come as Crown prosecutors filed a notice to appeal Justice Craig Parry’s decision on April 24 to acquit Sloka of 48 counts of sexual assault.

The Crown is asking for a new trial and for the acquittals to be set aside.

The allegations against Sloka first surfaced in 2017 when he was treating patients presenting issues from migraines to head injuries.

In 2019, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario revoked his licence.

During the trial proceedings, court heard from witnesses that Sloka asked patients to undress so he could perform a physical or skin examination, including breast and pelvic exams.

Patients detailed what they said were unnecessary exams and touching. Sloka also testified in his own defence, denying the allegations or justifying them as necessary for the medical exam.

Sloka trial ‘impacted so many people’

Sara Casselman, executive director of the Sexual Assault Support Centre of Waterloo Region, told CBC News on Thursday that Sloka’s trial and the new charges speak to the impact this trial has had on the community.

“As time goes on, it just seems to be getting bigger and bigger,” Casselman said.

“It’s impacted so many people in our community and it’s on our community’s radar in such a significant way, which I think is really important.”

Sloka is expected back in court at the end of July.
