CINCINNATI -- A grand jury indicted a man accused of misleading parents to gain access to their partially clothed children earlier this year.

Prosecutors said Ben Hawkins, 44, told parents that he worked for Springfield Research, a fictitious company, and asked for assistance as part of a marketing survey.

Hawkins met with the parents and children, who ranged in age from 9 to 16 years old, and moved the children to a separate area where he asked them to remove their clothing so he could inspect their underpants, prosecutors said.

The grand jury indicted him on nine counts of importuning, seven counts of kidnapping and three counts of gross sexual imposition. Deputies have identified 11 victims so far.

According to authorities, Hawkins committed these crimes from March 1 through July 25 in several Hamilton County cities, including Amberly Village, Saint Bernard, Springdale and Harrison.

Authorities said he had previous convictions on charges connected with the attempted use of minors for sexual purposes.

If convicted on all 19 counts, Hawkins could face up to 105 years in prison.
