A 22-year inmate who faces multiple sex crime related charges involving minors, had two additional charges — lewdness with a minor under the age of 14 — filed against him Wednesday, a Carson City sheriff’s deputy said.

Jacob Daniel Houser was booked on the charges, with $500,000 bondable bail.

There are at least five victims who have come forward alleging they had been victimized by Houser. Total bail amount is $1 million.
