TAMPA - Former Tampa Preparatory School swim coach Kimberly Brabson III, accused of secretly videotaping 18 underage girls changing clothes, went back to jail Friday.
Brabson, 29, was released after posting $95,000 bail, jail records show.
On Thursday, prosecutors added 19 felony charges of promotion of sexual performance by a child against him.
The charges are in addition to 11 counts of misdemeanor video voyeurism, with which Tampa police charged Brabson in January.
The new charges each come with $5,000 bail.
Police said they recovered a videotape from Brabson's school office that recorded girls ages 11 to 15 as they undressed, some of them removing their underwear. The girls are filmed from the neck to the groin, police said.
The second-degree felony, punishable by up to 15 years in prison, applies to anyone who "produces, directs or promotes" any play, motion picture or other visual representation of sexual conduct by a child younger than 18, according to state statutes.
Brabson had been free on $50,000 bail on the voyeurism charges, records show.
