Jim Miller was arrested and charged in May with three counts of lewd acts with a child under the age of 16. The district attorney filed the additional charges on Tuesday.

The more recent charges involve two victims. Prosecutors say the crimes happened over a six-year period while Miller was living in Pontotoc County. According to court papers, the victims -- both girls -- were between the ages of 5 and 12 years old when the crimes occurred.

The girls told investigators Miller exposed himself and made them touch his genitals. They said he also made them undress in front of him while he masturbated and watched pornography.

According to Chris Ross, the Pontotoc County district attorney, the two girls came forward when questions surfaced about Miller and things found on his computer.

Miller turned himself in on Tuesday. His bond was set at $100,000.
