A Florida man who was already facing the death penalty is now looking at dozens of new felony charges. Attorney General James Uthmeier announced that his office has filed 47 additional charges against 36-year-old Nathan Douglas Holmberg.

These new charges are happening in Pinellas County. They are on top of charges Holmberg already faces in Hernando County.

“This monster committed the most heinous crimes imaginable against innocent children,” Uthmeier said in a statement. “We promised to bring the absolute maximum penalty under the law, and bringing these additional charges is part of fulfilling that promise.”

The new case against Holmberg includes a long list of crimes. Prosecutors filed 39 counts of Use of a Child in a Sexual Performance. They also filed seven counts of Lewd or Lascivious Molestation on a Child Under 12, plus one count of Video Voyeurism.

If convicted on just the new charges, Holmberg could face up to 10 life sentences.

This comes after a grand jury in Hernando County indicted Holmberg back in November 2025. In that case, he was hit with 25 felonies. Those included seven counts of capital sexual battery on a child. Because of Florida laws updated in 2023, those specific charges make him eligible for the death penalty.

Because the crimes crossed into different areas, a special statewide task force had to be formed. This allowed authorities to work across county lines to build the case. Uthmeier praised that team for “leaving no stone unturned.”

The Office of Statewide Prosecution in the Sixth Judicial Circuit will handle the new prosecution in Pinellas County.
