A Lincoln soccer coach faces new charges after being accused of blindfolding and tying up boys for his sexual gratification.

On Monday, 57-year-old Sanford Kaplan was in court to hear charges of child abuse, false imprisonment and five counts of third-degree sexual assault of a child.

More young boys have come forward with allegations since Kaplan's first court appearance in May. Four of them told investigators Kaplan brushed against their groins while he tied them up. The boys say it happened when they were 10 to 16.

Sheriff's investigators say they have identified 11 alleged victims.

Kaplan was arrested again on Friday. His bond was raised to $200,000.
