A Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Primary teacher already charged with fondling four young Syracuse girls is now charged in the abuse of four additional girls.

Aaron Marcos Montoya, 32, is now charged with nine counts of aggravated child sexual abuse and another possible victim will be interviewed Tuesday.

Police say the new abuse allegations occurred in Montoya's home, his car, and at Pineview Reservoir.

The newly discovered alleged victims range in age from 3 to 11.

None of the allegations are connected to Montoya's job as a bailiff at the Matheson Courthouse in Salt Lake City. The Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office has placed Montoya on administrative leave.
