Andrews, who was initially charged in June with three counts of lewd acts on a child, is set to be arraigned on the five new counts when he appears in West Valley Superior Court on Wednesday.

He remains jailed at Glen Helen Rehabilitation Center in Devore in lieu of $75,000 bail.

When he was arrested in June, Andrews confessed to molesting seven girls over a 12-year period, according to a police report attached to his court file.

The initial three counts were filed based on the corroborating statements of two of the girls, friends of Andrews' young daughter who Andrews allegedly molested when they visited his home.

After Andrews' confession, police said they planned to contact Andrews' previous alleged victims to obtain corroborating statements from them.

Andrews worked as a painter for the Chino Valley Unified School District before his arrest.
