6:01 pm
charles county. he's accused of targeting children who were in his care and he told the cops he's hiv positive. hard to imagine, but tonight that story has gotten even worse. now twice as many victims have been identified. police say 24 children have been abused, of those, though, 11 still haven't come forward, but right now parents are trying to understand why it took more than two years for the alleged abuse to come to light. bureau chief tracee wilkins has reaction. tracee. >> reporter: i'll tell you, if you stand out here in front of benjamin starter middle school or walk into the neighborhood around the school. you're going to meet parent after parent, student after student who not only knew mr. bell but will say he was a nice guy, that he was their track coach that they enjoyed their relationship with him and are shocked by what's happening here. just today, the principal has been reassigned from this school and now the charles county state's attorney is saying that he i
