A youth pastor who in July was charged with six counts of child fondling is facing additional charges.

Warrants for three counts of lewd and lascivious acts or exhibitionism with children were issued against Roshad Thomas Tuesday.

Thomas, 41, is being held in the Leon County Jail on $215,000 bond after his arrest July 17.

According to the Leon County Sheriff's Office, the victims related to the new charges were between 11 and 15 years old at the time of the incidents.

Investigators did not detail how the new charges came about.

Thomas, according to court records, used his position as a youth counselor and pastor to gain access to young boys as far back as 2007 before victims came forward this year.
