A former leading West Australian counsellor facing child sex abuse offences against seven boys has been charged with more crimes against five other children.
Allan Keith Huggins is already facing 33 charges of sexual abuse against seven boys aged between 11 and 17, dating back more than 20 years.
Late on Thursday, police laid a further 28 charges against the 66-year-old man.
The new charges include multiple counts of aggravated sexual assault and indecent dealing of a person under the age of 17.
Police are expected to release more details later on Friday about when the alleged offences happened and the age of the victims.

Previous charges against Huggins include one count of sexual penetration without consent, 17 counts of aggravated indecent assault and 13 counts of aggravated sexual assault.
They stem from when Huggins was an education officer for the Warminda program, which helped troubled boys in the 1990s, and as a counselling psychotherapist at the Perth Adolescent Service.
Huggins, who is currently on bail, is due to appear in the Perth Magistrates Court on October 30.
Part of his strict bail conditions is an order to stay away from alleged victims, a curfew, daily reports to police and to not leave the state.
Police say the investigation is continuing, and at a previous court appearance, prosecutors said there could be at least 20 alleged victims.
Until his arrest, Huggins ran a counselling service for men and was appointed by then-federal health minister Carmen Lawrence to help draft the first National Men's Health Policy Document in 1995.
A national hotline - 1800 552 203 - has been established to encourage alleged victims to come forward.
