Halifax police say the number of complaints against a Nova Scotia doctor accused of sexually assaulting RCMP members and recruits has grown to about 40.
Const. Carol McIsaac says the number is "very fluid" and is continuing to climb, nearly doubling over a 24-hour period.
She says the complaints come from both men and women.
The RCMP has said the victims were either applicants looking to join the force or serving members who were receiving treatment by the physician between 1981 and 2003.
Meanwhile, the now-retired doctor at the centre of the Halifax police investigation says he doesn't want to comment on the matter.
The investigation into the Nova Scotia doctor comes as Toronto police say they are also probing sexual assault allegations against an RCMP doctor who used to practise in the Mounties' Ontario division.
