A former Child and Family Services employee, who was convicted of sexual assault in the late 1980s, is facing new charges after more victims have come forward.
Lionel Norman McCullough, now 49, was previously convicted of three counts of sexually assaulting residents of a group home in 1988.
On May 7, 2012, another victim reported being sexually assaulted by the suspect while living in the same group home.
Brandon police have been investigating the case and discovered at least three victims, including the person who made last year's complaint, were allegedly abused by the suspect between 1984 and 1988.
A national warrant was issued for McCullough's arrest on Dec. 17, 2012.
Vancouver police located and arrested the suspect on Jan. 21.
He was transported back to Brandon on Friday to face the new charges and is being held at the Brandon Correctional Centre.
