AUGUSTA (AP) — An Augusta martial arts instructor who has already pleaded guilty to child pornography charges is facing a dozen new charges after authorities analyzed his computer.
Wade Robert Hoover is accused in a new indictment of 12 counts of gross sexual assault on a boy between December 2008 and February 2010.
A grand jury added the charges even as the 35-yearold Hoover awaits sentencing later this month in federal court. Hoover pleaded guilty Feb. 5 to production and possession of child pornography.
