A Satsuma man, who's confined to a wheelchair, pleaded not guilty to federal child porn charges.
42-year-old Robert Vezendy is accused of secretly videotaping three young girls while they took showers at his house.
He's also facing charges of having pictures of underage girls engaged in sexual activity on his home computers.
Vezendy's attorney Dennis Knizley says he hasn't had a chance to look at all the evidence, but is assured that his client did not sexually assault anyone.
"There's certainly been no touching or anything of that nature whatsoever. So whatever allegation or whatever they may contend is going be is what they call a thought crime, a thought something wrong. But there certainly been no acting or anything they may contend that we may have had," said Knizley.
Vezendy is wearing an electronic monitoring device to keep track of his whereabouts.
News Five was told that the Department of Human Resources will be doing interviews in the neighborhood to make sure there are not anymore victims.
Vezendy's trial is scheduled to begin July 16th.

You sound a little mindless to be honest here. All I was asking is if those children are living in his neigborhood. WHAT IN THE WORLD WERE THEY DOING TAKING A SHOWER AT HIS HOUSE???? I am not sure but I think most places come with tubs &/or showers. It DOES NOT matter if he was a “family friend” or not; no child show be showering at a neigbors home!!!

Seebiscuit it’s not the parents on trial here it is a very sick man. So if you have a close family friend or a family member and he did the same thing would you still want to know why the kids had showers at his house? I don’t think so! This man has been in the area for over 10 years and got very close to some families. Think before you speak and pass judgement on innocent people.
