David Johnson, 58, pleaded not guilty in Ventura County Superior Court to six felony child molestation charges involving two children under 14.
Prosecutors say the alleged abuse spanned several years in Ojai and Oxnard, and that Johnson accessed the children through a familial relationship.
The case includes four felony counts of lewd acts on a child and two counts of continuous sexual abuse, plus special allegations of substantial sexual conduct and victims under 14.
Arrested Monday, Johnson remains jailed without bail and is due back in court Friday for a bail review hearing.
Ventura County investigators are seeking possible additional victims and asked anyone with information about Johnson or other unreported crimes to come forward.
