Police: 5th Man Claims Social Worker Molested Him

Martin Canter is accused of molesting five people.

Prosecutors have charged Martin Canter, a social worker accused of molesting four teens, with sexually assaulting a fifth victim, the Daily Breeze reported Wednesday.

Sgt. Steve Barber of the Palos Verdes Estates Police Department told reporter Larry Altman that a 20-year-old man accused Canter of posing as a doctor and molesting him when he was 16 and 17 years old. Prosecutors charged Canter with two additional counts of sexual battery in connection with the man's statement.

The fifth victim did not live with Canter, 62, in his homes in Rolling Hills and Palos Verdes Estates, as the other boys did, Altman reported.
