LAKELAND, Fla. -- More charges are being added for a former Lakeland gymnastics coach who was already facing 22 counts of possession of child pornography.
According to an affidavit, 21-year-old Elite World Gymnastics coach Alexander Katchalov will be facing 40 more counts of "enhanced possession of child pornography."
After his Jan. 30 arrest, detectives searched Katchalov's electronic devices and his private Dropbox account, discovering 10 additional videos involving children as young as two years old.
"Thankfully, during our investigation, we have not determined there to be any local victims," Sheriff Grady Judd said in a statement. "However, if there are any local children who had regular contact with Katchalov and who have experienced any inappropriate contact from Katchalov, we want parents to call us if they believe their child is a victim."
