Darien is being held without bond.

A North Lauderdale man who authorities say drugged and had sex with several boys was arrested and remains in custody, Broward Sheriff's Office said.

Paul Darien, 32, was arrested Thursday and faces nine counts of sexual assault on a child under the age of 12, according to online jail records. He is being held without bond.

Darien was first arrested on April 1 for the sexual assault of a victim that he was in a "position of custodial authority at the time of the incident," according to an arrest affidavit. Darien later admitted to the crime, BSO said.

He now faces additional charges for having sex with an 8-year-old child and the child's friend in 2008 ad 2009, an affidavit said. Authorities said Darien gave the two children NyQuil or sleeping pills and threatened to hurt the first child if he told anyone.
