Charges were refiled Thursday against a former physician assistant accused of sexually abusing multiple patients. Oscar Couprou Johnson was also, at one time, named in a federal case in connection with the death of a NHL player.

SANDY — Thirty felony charges have been filed against a former physician assistant, accusing him of being sexually inappropriate with multiple patients.

The charges come approximately three years after similar charges against Oscar Couprou Johnson — who at one time was named in a federal indictment in connection with the death of a NHL player — were dismissed, and less than a month after Johnson attempted to have his previous case expunged.

Johnson, 68, of Murray, was charged Thursday in 3rd District Court with rape, six counts of forcible sodomy, three counts of attempted rape, and object rape, first-degree felonies; 18 counts of forcible sexual abuse, a second-degree felony; and attempted forcible sexual abuse, a third-degree felony.
