56-year-old Jean Noel Rene Clair also was charged for persuading 10 men to fornicate, according to a national radio report.
Officials say Clair stored the recorded material, which consisted of various male sexual encounters, on thousands of files and distributed them on the Internet on more than 20 websites, some of which were managed by Clair himself.
He was arrested last May at the time of filming and he could be facing up to 10 years imprisonment.
