Saeid Boustanabadi Maralan, 53, is already facing charges related to three other alleged victims. He was previously arrested Sept. 1 for one felony count of forcible rape, attempted forcible rape, sexual penetration with a foreign object by force and distributing pornography to a minor. He was released from jail Friday after posting $1-million bail.
But after Maralan's initial arrest, six additional people came forward. The new charges -- rape, penetration with a foreign object and assault with the intent to commit oral copulation – are related to three alleged victims, Lt. Jason Kravetz of the Laguna Beach Police Department told the Laguna Beach Coastline-Pilot.
A fourth case may be filed, Kravetz said.
All of the alleged incidents occurred at the Sirous and Sons Rug Gallery in Laguna Beach at 222 Ocean Ave., police said.
Police confirmed that Maralan was working at his San Clemente store when he was arrested. He's been seen working at both locations since he was released.
