Monk admitted he had taken his stepdaughter to Indiana from her home in Louisville. Monk also admitted to engaging in a sexual relationship with the minor and to recording the sexual activity. The Clark County Sheriff’s Department found a video recorder, videotapes, and cellular telephones in the hotel room Monk was staying in Indiana.
According to court records, on Aug. 19, 2012, Monk’s spouse found out that he had been engaging in sexual activities with her minor daughter at their Louisville home, officials said. Monk then moved out of the house into a hotel in Clark County in Indiana, to where he later took the minor with him.
The mother filed a missing person report and also received an Emergency Protection Order (EPO) against Monk in Jefferson County, Ky. The EPO included an order that Monk have no contact with either his wife or the minor stepdaughter.
Two days later, the mother learned that Monk and her daughter were staying at a motel in Clarksville, Ind., where Clark County Sheriff’s deputies found the two and Monk admitted to the crime and was arrested.
