LOS ANGELES (AP) — A California man with many aliases who was behind an anti-Muslim film that sparked violence in the Middle East is expected to be asked by a judge Wednesday whether he violated his probation for a 2010 bank fraud conviction.

Federal prosecutors said Mark Basseley Youssef, 55, had eight probation violations, including lying to his probation officer and using aliases.

If Youssef denies those allegations, a judge will then likely schedule an evidentiary hearing. If he admits he violated probation, the judge would decide to sentence him immediately or set a sentencing date.

Youssef has been in a federal detention center since Sept. 28 after he was arrested for the probation violations and deemed a flight risk by a magistrate judge. He also waived his right to a preliminary hearing where he could have presented evidence and had his attorney question any adverse witnesses.

He went into hiding after a 14-minute trailer for the movie "Innocence of Muslims" was posted on YouTube, sparking anger across the Muslim world. Protests stoked by the film broke out in the Middle East, killing dozens. And some enraged Muslims demanded punishment for Youssef, and a Pakistani cabinet minister has offered a $100,000 bounty to anyone who kills him.

Federal authorities have said Youssef isn't behind bars because of the film or its content, which portrays Islam's central figure Prophet Muhammad as a religious fraud, womanizer and pedophile. They said Youssef hasn't been truthful about his identity, using different names after he was convicted in 2010 of bank fraud.

Youssef was sentenced to 21 months in prison. He was barred from using computers or the Internet for five years without approval from his probation officer, though prosecutors said none of the violations involved the Internet.

An email left for Youssef's attorney, Steven Seiden, was not immediately returned Tuesday.

At least three names have been revealed to be associated with Youssef in the past several weeks. Court documents show Youssef legally changed his name from Nakoula Basseley Nakoula in 2002, but never told federal authorities, who used that as part of the probation violation case against him.
