WAYNESBORO - A Waynesboro man arrested earlier this year on a child pornography charge is facing four more felony porn and sex charges, and police now believe there are five child victims involved.

In April, the Waynesboro Police Department arrested 55-year-old Timothy F. Landes on a child porn charge stemming from a 2013 incident. Following his arrest, authorities continued to investigate and on Monday he was charged with aggravated sexual battery and three additional child pornography charges.

Capt. Kelly Walker said the five victims, all under the age of 16, were not strangers to the suspect. "He was known by the victims and their families," Walker said.

Landes is alleged to have taken photographs of the children in various states of undress, according to the captain.

"There was also a time where he physically touched one of them," Walker said, resulting in the aggravated sexual battery charge.

The offense dates on the four latest charges are listed as April 24, five days before police arrest Landes.

He remains at Middle River Regional Jail.
