New Charges Against Music Teacher As More Children Come Forward

Three additional children have reportedly come forward.

Additional charges have been filed against a Chester County music teacher charged with sexually abusing children.

Three more children have come forward, CBS reports, to say that Anton Fomin showed them photos of nude children and adults. The children were Fomin's students, CBS said.

The new charges against him include endangering the welfare of a child, CBS said.

Fomin, 44, of the 2000 block of Kimberton Road in East Pikeland Township, worked at the Malvern School of Music for four years, authorities said. Fomin and his wife also ran a private music school, CBS said.

Fomin originally is from Russia.

Fomin previously was charged with attempted aggravated indecent assault, indecent assault, corruption of minors and other charges. He remains in jail in lieu of $300,000 bail, CBS said.

There may be additional victims, the Chester County District Attorney's Office said. Anyone with information relevant to the case is asked to contact Chester County Detective James Ciliberto at 610-344-6866.
