RALEIGH (WTVD) -- A man has been charged with the sexual battery of multiple people while working as a used car salesman. Now, Raleigh police are hoping other alleged victims will come forward.

On February 27, 51-year-old Thomas Lynn turned himself in after two people, one man and one woman, accused Lynn of inappropriately touching them while they shopped for a car.

Lynn works and is the proprietor of Freedom Auto Sales at 3020 Hillsborough Street.

Coverage of the arrest prompted five more alleged victims to come forward. Now, Lynn has been served with six additional arrest warrants and nine additional charges.

Detectives are concerned about the number of victims that came forward after Lynn was first arrested, and fear there may be more victims out there.

Anyone who believes they have been a victim of a similar crime or who has other information concerning a case should call the CrimeStoppers line at (919) 834-HELP.
