(CRAWFORDSVILLE) - A Montgomery couple are facing more than a dozen charges after allegations they had sex with their three children since 2012.
According to Montgomery County Police, 52-year-old Keylin Lee Johnson and his wife 44-year-old Sheila Lynn Johnson.
Keylin Johnson faces 18 charges including multiple counts of child molesting, incest and a count of possession of child pornography.
Sheila Johnson faces 17 charges including multiple counts of child molesting and incest and a count of bestiality.
The couple remained in the Montgomery County Jail. A jury trial is set for Sheila Johnson on July 31 and for Keylin Johnson on Aug. 14.
Police began their investigation on Feb. 25 when they received information from a woman that told police the couple's two oldest children had come to visit her and talked about "possible sexual abuse."
Police spoke that same day with the oldest child, who said their father had told the oldest child that "incest was a normal way of life" and "the best way to build a family bond was to have sex with your parents, particularly your mother."
According to court documents, the father told the child it was safer to have sex with people in your own family, rather than strangers.
The oldest child "also indicated that his mother was involved in sexual relations with the family dog."
The youngest child was removed from the family's home in Montgomery County the next day. Investigators also seized cellphones and computers from the home.
The youngest child told authorities that "both of her parents would do gross things in the home," and she was shown shown sexual videos and pornography and that her aunt would bring adult things to a residence in Mooresville and she saw the adults would do sexual things.
During interviews with police, Sheila Johnson, admitted to multiple acts of child abuse and incest with two of her children and an attempt at bestiality with a dog. She told police her husband "would always want to role play and suggested mother-son sex scenarios."
Keylin Johnson told police that "I am guilty of internet porn and other stuff" and described himself as being addicted to pornography, according to the court documents. He admitted to police he had downloaded and saved photos of one of his children nude from the child's cellphone.
The family has lived in homes in Crawfordsville, Ladoga, New Market and Waveland since 2012.
