A therapist is in jail after he allegedly sexually abused a 16-year-old female patient, and police suspect there may be other victims.

Jason Scott Calder, 41, of Bountiful, was arrested Monday on suspicion of rape and other sexual abuse counts, according to a news release from the Utah County Sheriff’s Office.

The teenage girl, who was being housed at a residential youth treatment facility where Calder worked, told her new therapist that Calder had sexually abused her on more than 10 occasions between March and June of this year.

The teen said the abuse occurred during scheduled therapist sessions with Calder, according to the release.
