Dothan, Ala. — A Dothan pastor faces more criminal charges after police said a third victim alleged she was sexually abused.

53-year-old Earl Houston Holland is now charged with nine counts of first-degree sexual abuse. Holland is being held at the Houston County Jail under a $250,000 bond on each count. He was arrested March 27th and was charged with four counts of sexual abuse.

Police believe most of the incidents happened during a church-related event at Holland's home and one at the Dothan Conference Center. A District Judge set his bond at a hearing Thursday and made his first court appearance Friday.

Police said the abuse involving the latest victim is believed to have occurred between October 2006 and March 2007.

Authorities declined to name the church Holland pastors.
