An accused child molester from the Midland Beach section of Staten Island is in even deeper water after a stash of kiddie porn turned up on his home computer, police allege.
James Bova, 46, who was arrested back in September on charges he used a vibrating massager to molest his young daughter's pre-teen friends, had collected several videos and pictures of pre-pubescent girls forced into having sex, police allege.
Cops re-arrested Bova yesterday, charging him with 20 counts each of promoting a sexual performance by a child, and possessing a sexual performance by a child, both felonies.
Bova, who was already being held on $500,000 bail, was arraigned on the new charges yesterday, and ordered held without bail.
He's being kept at Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan, where he was transferred after a recent suicide attempt, a law enforcement source said.
Bova used the pull-off cap of a "quarter-drink" bottle to try and cut his wrists, but it wasn't clear if he was genuinely trying to kill himself or if he wanted to get transferred from Rikers Island and away from general population inmates, the source said.
