Robert Anthony O’Hare, of Mount Dora, was arrested in October 2015 on 25 charges of possession of child pornography. Lake County sheriff's deputies said Friday that O'Hare now faces 51 additional charges connected to the same case.

Officials said they discovered that O’Hare had placed hidden cameras in two miniature jukeboxes that were delivered as gifts to children who live in his neighborhood.

Deputies said O'Hare was able to “remotely record the children in the home.”

O’Hare is also suspected of having produced videos by using a telescopic lens and camera that deputies found in his home during a search in 2015, officials said.

The videos were shot through a bedroom window of the same girl to whom one of the juke boxes was delivered, and was in the same room where she was getting dressed and undressed, deputies said.

Officials said hundreds of downloaded pornographic video were located on the device, including video with children engaged in sexually explicit activity with adults.

O’Hare was arrested in  Broward County and was charged with 51 counts: 26 video voyeurism and 25  sexual performance by a child.

O’Hare’s bond is set at $255,000.
