An additional count of open and gross lewdness has been filed against 76-year-old self-proclaimed prophet Benito Catello after another possible juvenile victim came forward, Las Vegas police said today.

Catello was originally charged with 29 felonies for sexual misconduct with two juvenile members of his church. After his arrest, Catello told detectives in a recorded interview that "if the girls said he did it, he must have," according to the arrest report.

This brings the number of potential victims to three and the number of felony charges to 30.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Aug. 7.
