PROVIDENCE, Rhode Island (AP) -- Richard Hatch, who won $1 million on the first season of the reality show "Survivor," was indicted Thursday for failing to pay taxes on his winnings.

Survivor winner Richard Hatch leaves his federal tax evasion hearing in Providence, Rhode Island in January.

Prosecutors had charged Hatch with two counts of tax evasion in January, and he agreed to plead guilty. But he backed out of the deal in March, saying he thought CBS was responsible for paying the taxes on his prize.

CBS has said Hatch knew he had to pay taxes on the winnings.

The new indictment charges Hatch with 10 counts including tax evasion, filing a false tax return, wire fraud, bank fraud and mail fraud. According to the indictment, his 2000 and 2001 tax returns omitted his income from the reality show, $327,000 he was paid to co-host a radio show and $28,000 in rent on a property he owns in Newport.

Hatch, 44, also was accused of misusing $36,500 from a nonprofit camp he set up, Horizon Bound.

If found guilty on all charges, he could face up to 75 years in prison and millions of dollars in fines.

Hatch was on a plane headed for Houston on Thursday to help hurricane victims at the Astrodome and could not be reached for comment, according to a spokesman for Hatch's attorney, Michael Minns.

Hatch won during the first season of "Survivor" in August 2000. He has since appeared on other TV shows, most recently the "Battle of the Network Reality Stars" on Bravo.
