A Calgary psychiatrist has been officially charged with repeatedly sexually assaulting one of his patients.

 

Calgary police investigators are appealing to any other possible victims to come forward.

 

71-year-old Dr. Aubrey Levin was arrested Tuesday and later charged with one count of sexual assault.

 

His victim is a 36-year old man and a long-term patient of Levin. It is alleged the sexual assaults occurred repeatedly over this period of time.

 

The Calgary Police Sex Crimes Unit began investigating the allegations on Friday, March 19th which is when they were first made aware of the case.

 

Levin is a forensic psychiatrist and had often been called upon by the courts to assess and testify about people facing criminal charges.

 

Levin works out of the Peter Lougheed Centre and also served as adjunct professor at the University of Calgary.

 

Levin has also been stripped of his credentials pending an independent investigation by the College of Physicians and Surgeons.

 

Alberta Justice told CTV News late Tuesday night that it is taking these allegations against Levin very seriously, and will reassign any current cases appointed to Levin to another psychiatrist.

 

It will also conduct an internal review of all prosecutions that Levin was previously involved in to determine whether Levin could have improperly influenced any of the outcomes of those cases.
