A Poynette teenager already facing 100 years in prison on child sexual assault charges faces five additional charges that add 125 years to a possible prison sentence.

Adam J. Rodger, 17, is free on two $10,000 signature bonds after an initial appearance Wednesday in Columbia County Circuit Court.

He is charged in two separate cases with five counts of felony sexual assault of a child under 16 years of age; each charge carries a maximum possible initial penalty of 25 years in prison and $100,000 in fines.

Rodger is accused of having sex with a 15-year-old girl in August 2008, March and June, and of having sex with a different 15-year-old girl in August.

Rodger was charged last month with four similar felony counts after a 13-year-old girl told Poynette police that she and Rodger had sex five times in July and August; Rodger told investigators that he had sex with the girl four times and knew she was 13 years old, according to a criminal complaint.

According to a report, Rodger told investigators in September that he thinks he has a sex problem.

He is scheduled for a hearing on all charges Nov. 23.
