FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- A former Bullard High School teacher now faces federal charges after a grand jury returned a three-count indictment on Thursday.

37-year-old Ray Waller is accused of having sex with a minor, selling or producing explicit content and committing lewd acts.

Fresno Police arrested Waller this past February, with the District Attorney's office filing 38 charges against him. Waller pleaded not guilty to those charges on March 20.

Court documents say the alleged crimes happened between mid-November 2024 and February 2025.

The documents also revealed four victims and that one of them could have been as young as 14.

A detention hearing to determine his federal custody status has been scheduled for June 30.

The new federal charges each bring between five and 30 years in prison, if convicted.
