A Perth taxi driver accused of sexually assaulting a wheelchair-bound woman has had further charges laid against him over two more alleged victims.

A Perth taxi driver accused of sexually assaulting a woman with cerebral palsy in the back of his cab has had further charges laid against him over another two alleged victims.

The 58-year-old man has already been charged with three counts of aggravated sexual penetration without consent and one count of aggravated indecent assault.

He was driving a 29-year-old wheelchair-bound woman from respite care to her home when he allegedly assaulted her in a car park.

Police said on Tuesday they had charged the man with further offences against two more wheelchair-bound women, aged in their 30s and 50s, who were passengers in his taxi at separate times in January and February.

The taxi driver has been charged with 12 counts of indecently dealing with an incapable person.

He is due to appear in Perth Magistrates Court on Wednesday.
