Gandhi has been also accused of a third sexual assault involving a 27-year-old woman in July of 2018, and a 31-year-old colleague in December of 2019.
According to Los Angeles County jail records, Gandhi is being held without bail. He was first arrested in January, and was released after posting bail.
If convicted as charged, Gandhi faces a possible maximum sentence of seven years in state prison.
