STERLING, VA — A Sterling man charged earlier this year with the sexual assault of a juvenile and practicing dentistry without a license now faces 11 additional charges, according to the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office.

Juan Ramos Jacobe was charged Monday with an additional count of assault and battery, five counts of sexual assault and five counts of practicing unlicensed dentistry. The additional charges stem from an additional five victims coming forward.

Ramos Jacobe was initially arrested on March 26 after a juvenile victim told her family the suspect assaulted her while she was at his home earlier that week. She reported she was mildly sedated at the time to have dental work performed, according to the LCSO. The age of the victim is not being released to help protect her identity.
