Timothy Lee Anders / Greenville County Detention Center

Timothy Lee Anders, of 6 Concord St., had already faced 31 charges in a sex abuse case that was revealed earlier this week, said Lt. Mike Hildebrand, a spokesman for the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office.

The new case against Anders charges him with criminal sexual conduct with a female under age 11, according to warrants. The charges are both first-degree and second-degree charges, according to warrants.

The several depicted acts were alleged to have occurred at the victim’s house or other places between April, 1984 and April, 1988, according to the warrants.

Anders was employed as a maintenance man at a church that the young girl was linked to, Hildebrand said.

“As with the previous victims, this victim knew Anders through the church,” Hildebrand said. “These incident began in 1984 when the victim was 9-years-old and continued” into the latter 1980s, he said.

It was unknown why the charges, some dating as far back as the mid-1970s, are emerging now.

Hildebrand said he didn‘t know if Anders was working at the church, located off Poinsett Highway, at the time of his initial arrest earlier this week.

Arrested earlier this week, Anders is being held without bond at the Greenville County Detention Center, online jail records show on Thursday afternoon.
