(WSB Radio) -- A Marietta nurse anesthetist has been re-arrested after a juvenile was identified as an alleged victim.

Paul Serdula, 47, is being held without bond in the Cobb County jail.  Police say his alleged victims could number 100.

"This case is absolutely far from over," said Cobb Police Sgt. Dana Pierce.  "It is safe to say we have victims, probably, in the early double digits, and we expect as many as 100," Pierce said in a morning news briefing.

New charges against Serdula include aggravated child molestation and and aggravated sexual battery resulting from an alleged incident in June.  The aggravated sodomy allegedly took place on September 16.  He was arrested a week ago and charged with unlawful surveillance and eavesdropping on patients.

Pierce says authorities are dedicating "a lot of resources" to this investigation and that detectives have talked to "a number of victims, or people who believe they are victims."

Serdula's arrest Monday night at a local Holiday Inn Express was his second in less than one week.  His original arrest on November 18 was on charges of unlawful surveillance of patients at a dental office.

When police searched Serdula's home, they found hundreds of videos and electronic recording devices. 

The police investigation began when a woman noticed a video recording device in the bathroom at her dentist's office in the 600 block of Galleria Parkway.  She called 911 said Pierce.

"We are looking at tapes not only from the incident that occurred at the dental office, but also othe rincidents that are recorded that we are trying to find th elocation of that criminal activity as well as to identify the victims," Pierce said.

As a contracted nurse anesthetist, Serdula did not work directly for any doctor or dentist, but he may have been employed at multiple offices.

Police say anyone who thinks they might be a victim should contact their dentist or doctor first to find out of Serdula worked for them.  If so, then contact police who will investigate.
