BERGENFIELD -- Three more women have accused a doctor with a practice in Bergenfield of sexually touching them, authorities said.

Dr. Raja Jagtiani, 54, of Dumont, had been arrested Aug. 25 and charged with five counts of criminal sexual contact, one count of simple assault and three counts of harassment by offensive touching, Bergen County Prosecutor John L. Molinelli said. Police identified three current and former employees and a patient as alleged victims.

One employee said Jagtiani touched her breast and bit her cheek while working with her July 25, Molinelli said.

Since then, three more women have accused Jagtiani of sexual contact and harassment, Molinelli said. Police arrested Jagtiani again on Wednesday.

Jagtiani was charged with four counts of criminal sexual contact and one count of harassment by offensive touching. He posted $50,000 bail.

He's scheduled for an arraignment on the new charges Oct. 7 in Bergenfield.
