A Baptist Easley nurse accused of criminal sexual misconduct in September is now facing several new charges after other victims have come forward.
Alan Page Greene, 50, was first arrested on Sept. 30 and was charged with first degree assault and battery stemming from an incident involving a patient under his care while at Baptist Easley Hospital.
Page is now facing three additional charges from separate incidents involving the first victim and new charges stemming from allegations against him from four other victims that have since come forward.

"Other people have come forward since the story first broke in the news," Easley Police Chief William Traber said. "This is just a continuing investigation from the first report."
Police were first notified after an incident took place on Sept. 3 when Greene was providing care for the victim while she was being treated in the emergency room, according to the arrest warrants.

Greene was later identified by the victim in a photo lineup.
The warrant states that Greene touched the "private parts of the victim with lewd and lascivious intent."
Police told Patch they were investigating two additional claims at the time Greene was first charged but hospital officials said they were not aware of any additional occurrences.
All victims were reported to be patients at Baptist Easley Hospital at the time they were assaulted. One warrant states that Greene engaged in sexual battery with the victim while the victim was physically helpless.
The incidents that have surfaced since the investigation began date back as far as Nov. 23, 2008.
Hospital officials said Greene was placed on administrative leave after charges were brought against him.
Greene is now facing six charges of first degree assault and battery and two charges of third degree criminal sexual conduct.
