A former Tsawwassen resident is facing more sex-related charges.
Rick Glendinning, 60, who now lives in Vancouver, was arrested back in September and charged with indecent assault, sexual assault and gross indecency. He was released but was back in police custody Wednesday after two more alleged victims came forward, said Delta police spokesperson Sgt. Sharlene Brooks.
Delta police initially received information in December 2009 regarding alleged incidents of sexual assault that "occurred in years previous."
At that time investigators were concerned there were additional victims who had not yet come forward.
One area of concern in particular was Glendinning's decade-long affiliation with the Tsawwassen Amateur Baseball Association. He was involved with the organization between 1985 and 1995, and would have had access to numerous young people during that time, police said.
Investigators put out a request asking for others who felt they were victims of sexual assault at the hands of Glendinning to come forward. As a result, two more alleged victims were identified.
Brooks said the alleged victims, both male and female, were in the elementary to high school age.
Glendinning was arrested without incident on Wednesday and was due to appear in court Thursday.
A publication ban is in place to protect the identities of the victims.
