Roy appeared in court on Wednesday for his first advisement.

Officers believe the crimes occurred against some employees at Boulder Ice Cream, where Roy was a co-owner at the time, and possibly at a local farmer's market.

He was already facing previous charges but more alleged victims have come forward.

"For more than a year our investigators have been working diligently on a case that involves multiple women that are Spanish-speaking only, that have a questionable work status," Boulder police spokesperson Shannon Cordingly said in December.
