COLUMBIA -- Police say there a more victims of an alleged child molester after detectives find cell phone videos of sex acts with minors.

Robert Prince III, 21, already faces charges of child molestation, possessing and furnishing child pornography and endangering the welfare of a child.

The charges stem from an incident in June in which an 11-year-old girl told police that Prince tried to initiate sexual intercourse with her. The girl told police that Prince stopped once he heard a noise in the house.

The juvenile victim also told police that Prince showed her a picture of his genitalia an other nude photographs.

According to a statement released by police, Prince then pulled out two handguns and pointed one of them at the girl and “cycled the slide of the weapon”.

After Prince was arrested, police report finding several videos on his cellular phone showing sexual intercourse and oral sex. Detectives determined that two of the people performing the sex acts in the videos are minors.

One of the juveniles was a 17-year-old male and the other was a 16-year-old female, according to police.

Investigators believe there is a possibility of more juveniles who are the victims of sex crimes involving Prince.

Anyone with information is urged to call the Columbia Police Department at (573) 874-7652 or CrimeStoppers at (573) 875-TIPS.
