A middle school band director in Texas is now facing a total of 17 charges of indecency with a child after even more horrific reports emerged that he had abused students at two different middle schools over the course of six years.

Former Keller ISD band director Jedediah Maus, 36, was indicted with 14 more counts of criminal sexual misconduct against kids this week after additional reports emerged from former students claiming that he had performed sex acts on himself while watching them in a school bathroom. After the first three charges were filed against Maus in October, authorities set up a tip line for other parents and students to report abuse. 

Over a dozen more students came forward with almost the exact same story, alleging that Maus had invited them into the school bathroom and exposed himself, then watched them at the urinal while he touched himself.
 


Following the new reports, Maus has been charged with 14 more counts of indecency with a child, with a grand jury having returned 8 indictments so far.
