Police said the incidents involved former clients of Westminster House, a substance use recovery facility for women.Haber was a fitness trainer and independent contractor with Last Door Recovery Society, a drug and alcohol treatment centre that’s been running in the city for more than 35 years, according to a 2023 media release from the society.The society has previously said that when it learned of the allegations against Haber, it terminated his contract within 24 hours. Last Door and Westminster House are separately owned and operated but they raise funds together and have clients attend the same community-based support meetings.Police said Haber met the women through his involvement as a client, sponsor and later contract employee at Last Door starting in 2010.The New Westminster Police Department (NWPD) said it launched an investigation after allegations of sexual assaults were made “in connection with” a local recovery facility.Police said 11 women came forward with statements for investigators, which led to the initial charges. In February, Haber was convicted of two counts of sexual assault, and last week he was sentenced to three years in prison. He has also been added to Canada’s sex offender registry for 20 years and must follow court-ordered weapons prohibitions, the NWPD said.With files from Yasmine Ghania
