The Toronto Sex Crimes unit laid additional charges in a case regarding a hospital worker sexually assaulting a child in 2012 on Thursday in a conference.

Terrence Lee Noftall, 55, of Toronto, is being charged with an additional nine charges including three counts of sexual interference and three counts of sexual assault. Two counts of Breach of Prohibition Order and one count of accessing child pornography.
