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.
