WEST PALM BEACH — Former rabbi Jerrold Martin Levy faces four more federal child pornography charges.

Levy in May was charged with using the Internet to lure young boys into sex and possessing child pornography.

In a new indictment, a grand jury accused Levy of transmitting videos of young minor males engaged in sex over the Internet. Levy could face a maximum sentence of 115 years in prison.

A judge last month denied a request by Levy, a former rabbi at Temple Beth El in Boca Raton, to seek treatment out of state.

He remains in jail with his trial set for September.
