The victims include Jessica Schubbe, 29, of Manteno, who sued Jain in January for allegedly groping her. Schubbe, who in the criminal complaint is identified as Jessica Greenwood, reported Jain to the Frankfort police in 2011.

After her lawsuit was publicized, the four other women came forward and contacted the police. None of the women know each other, according to special prosecutor Dave Neal. 

Previously, Jain had been accused of molesting six women in his office on separate occasions over the course of several years. He has never been found guilty of any charges related to the accusations.

Jain will appear in court for a bond hearing on March 19.
