PROVO, Utah (AP) -- A Springville man is now facing 39 counts of sex-related criminal charges for allegedly forcing teen girls into sexual relationships with adult men.
The Daily Herald of Provo reports Utah County prosecutors on Friday added 12 new combined counts of rape and aggravated sexual assault to the 27 charges Kenneth Bond already faced.
Bond was charged in July with 20 counts of object rape, and counts of aggravated exploitation of a prostitute and unlawful sexual activity with a minor.
Prosecutors say Bond bought the girls gifts and paid the men to have sex with them, then watched or made videos of the acts.
The 65-year-old Bond has not yet entered a plea.
A preliminary hearing is set for Tuesday in Provo's 4th District Court.
