LL Camps co-founder Ben Lewis has been accused of making indecent videos of school children in Spain where he is awaiting trial, a report claims. 
 
Mr Lewis, 31, admitted to downloading and taking indecent images of minors in 2016 and was given a two-year suspended jail sentence. 
 
The Bushey summer camp was closed by Ofsted soon after his arrest.
 
But according to the MailOnline, Mr Lewis was arrested in Spain last June on suspicion of making and distributing child sex abuse material and is remanded in custody.
 
The news website reports that Mr Lewis changed his name to Ben David after his conviction and moved to Spain, initially working as an au-pair and later as a teacher at a school in Madrid.
