PHOENIX - The Department of Public Safety announced that seven potential victims have come forward following the arrest of a former trooper.
"Since the arrest of Tremaine Jackson on September 10, 2019, seven potential victims have come forward," DPS said in a statement.
Officials say the additional tips came in the week following Jackson's arrest, and detectives are following up with the potential victims.
Tremaine Jackson, 43, was arrested on multiple allegations of sexual abuse, kidnapping, and fraud, according to DPS. He worked for the department for 13 years.

"They were scared initially. When anyone is pulled over, you’re nervous, and in this, it went to a complete outside the bounds of anyone would expect from a traffic stop," said attorney Jody Broaddus.
Before his September arrest, Jackson had been placed on administrative leave after he was accused of sexually assaulting a woman during a traffic stop in early June. Officials say Jackson is accused of targeting women who were driving home late at night.
Jackson is being held on $150,000 bail. While more victimsd have come forward, attorney Marc Victor believes many won't.
"I suspect that we’re never going to know all of the victims in this case," said Victor.
DPS encourages any other possible victims to contact detectives at 602-223-2389 or online.
