A Layton man pleaded not guilty Tuesday to four felony charges involving sexual activities with pre-teen girls in his home, including one he apparently videotaped.

Lee H. Allen, 43, is charged with first-degree felony charges of rape of a child and sodomy upon a child and second-degree felony charges of sexual exploitation of a minor and sexual abuse of a child.He was arrested June 25 when Layton police went to his home to serve an arrest warrant on a sexual abuse complaint by an 11-year-old girl. A search of his home turned up dozens of videotapes, according to police, including one showing him performing sexual acts with a different girl the same age.

Allen faces up to life in prison on the two first-degree felony counts and sentences of one to 15 years on the other two charges.
