Former Franklin soccer coach Camilo Campos who was indicted by a Williamson County grand jury on more than 30 counts of sex-related charges has now been asked to appear in federal court on additional charges.

Campos was first arrested in July 2023 after a restaurant worker found videos on his phone that showed him raping unconscious boys between the ages 9 to19.
