A Perth paediatrician accused of child sex assault will remain behind bars after more alleged victims were identified.
Dr Chia Saw, 41, was arrested last month and charged with one count of persistent sexual conduct with a child between 2023 and 2026, and one count of possessing child exploitation material.
It is alleged the victim was one of his patients, and the incident occurred at his workplace. Saw is a consultant and regularly works at practices and hospitals across a number of Perth suburbs including Nedlands and Midland.
He was due to apply for bail in Perth Magistrates Court on Monday, but a hearing on whether to grant his freedom was delayed due to the case against him still unfolding.
