VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. – A man accused of molesting children is facing additional charges after more victims stepped forward, according to the Volusia County Sheriff's Office.
Michael McCabe, 47, of Port Orange, was arrested March 4 after four victims told deputies that McCabe had inappropriately touched them.

Deputies said at the time that there could possibly be more victims, because McCabe would befriend families in need and to earn their trust before moving in to gain access to their children.
The latest victim, a 10-year-old girl, reported McCabe to the Department of Children and Families after she saw McCabe on the news, deputies said.
The girl said McCabe would play a "stranger danger" game with her and her 11-year-old brother, during which he would inappropriately touch the children, then tell them not to tell their parents, according to a news release.
The girl's mother said she met McCabe in 2015 while volunteering at Holy Hill School. McCabe moved in with the family later that same year with an agreement that he would help around the house and babysit the children, deputies said.
McCabe is charged with two additional counts of lewd and lascivious molestation in connection with the new allegations. He was previously arrested on three counts of lewd or lascivious molestation and one count of sexual battery of a victim under the age of 12.
