A Holts Summit man and a Jefferson City woman have been indicted by a Cole County grand jury on 21 counts of sexual assault involving a child under the age of 12.
Michael Kreps, 38, was indicted on one count of first-degree rape, seven counts of first-degree statutory sodomy, one count of first-degree child molestation and one count of sexual exploitation of a minor.
Tenessa Wolfe, 26, was indicted on one count of first-degree statutory rape, eight counts of first-degree statutory sodomy, one count of sexual exploitation of a minor and one count of first-degree child molestation.
The indictments indicate the grand jury felt there was enough evidence to send the cases to the circuit court for possible trial.
Because the grand jury is a secret body, the law enforcement probable cause statements giving details of the case are not made public.
But the charging documents indicate Kreps and Wolfe had sexual intercourse in Cole County with the victim, an unnamed girl, touched the victim's private areas, used sexual toys and a metallic ball on the victim's private areas and created child pornography by photographing the victim engaged in sexual intercourse.
The documents show these events occurred between Dec. 1, 2010, and Aug. 1, 2011.
In May, both Kreps and Wolf were arrested in Callaway County on a total of 35 charges.
Kreps was arrested for eight counts of statutory sodomy, three counts of child molestation, two counts of sexual exploitation of a child, one count of statutory rape, one count of promoting child pornography, one count of possession of child pornography and one count of tampering with a victim.
Wolf was arrested at that same time for 14 counts of statutory sodomy, two counts of child molestation and two counts of sexual exploitation of a child.
Both were arraigned in July in Callaway County court on those charges and are awaiting their next court appearance on those cases.
The Callaway County crimes were listed as having occurred in January 2010.
At the time of their arrests, authorities said they took Kreps and Wolfe into custody as the result of an extensive investigation.
The Callaway County Sheriff's Office, Holts Summit Police Department, Boone County Sheriff's Office Cyber Crimes Unit and the Rolla Police Department all aided in the investigation.
Three separate victims were identified and their families were notified at that time.
