A detective spoke with her on March 12 about the phone, at which time she reported she no longer had the phone and had given it back to her husband. The detective interviewed the child victim, who said that John Taylor had raped her on multiple occasions.

John Taylor has been charged with one count of sexual abuse of a child under the age of 12, two counts of possession of child pornography, and one count of tampering with evidence. Michelle Taylor is charged with one count each of tampering with evidence, failing to report child abuse, and distribution of child porn.

The couple was arraigned on Wednesday and are due back in court on Monday.
