New child molestation charges were filed Thursday against a Missouri grandfather and his four sons, and investigators said they seized more videotapes.

Burrell Mohler Sr., 77, of Independence; Burrell Mohler Jr., 53, of Columbia; Jared Mohler, 48, of Columbia; David Mohler, 52, of Lamoni, Iowa; and Roland Mohler, 47, of Bates City, Mo.; are all in jail in Lexington, Mo. Another member of the family, the elder Mohler's brother, is under arrest in Florida.

Investigators say Jared Mohler's daughters told their mother years ago they were being molested, the Kansas City Star reported. Instead of going to police, she allegedly told her church about the allegations.

She is now said to be cooperating with the investigation.

Prosecutors filed 11 additional counts in Lafayette County against the five men.

Jared Mohler's house was searched Thursday because of charges by the alleged victims they had been used for child pornography. A total of 65 videotapes were seized.
