MELBOURNE, April 6 AAP - Another alleged victim has come forward in the case of a Victorian music teacher facing hundreds of charges of sex offences against girls.

Colin Harold Doo, 50, from Romsey, is facing 401 charges including 22 of rape and multiple counts of indecent acts and producing, possessing and procuring child pornography.

During a brief hearing at the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Monday, prosecutor Kerry Maikousis said a 13th victim came forward last week alleging Doo indecently touched her in 2000 when she was 11 or 12.

The court heard the alleged victim, who is the sister of an existing complainant, made a statement to police on Monday.

Ms Maikousis also told the committal case conference hearing a further two alleged female victims who featured in images found at Doo's home had now been identified.

Doo, who appeared in court via videolink, is yet to enter a plea to the charges, which allege offending between 1997 and 2008 against girls aged from 10 to 16.

Magistrate Felicity Broughton ordered him to appear in court in June for a further case conference hearing.
