$1 million bond set for man charged with sex crimes in Monroe Co.

MONROE COUNTY, Ohio --

A man charged with numerous felony sex crimes against children in Monroe County is being held with bond set at $1 million.

David Billman, of Wingett Run, was arraigned on Monday. Billman is charged with two counts of rape, two counts of attempted rape and eight counts of gross sexual imposition. Officials said the case involves children but did not give their ages.

Billman and his wife are listed under a national organization for Christian homes open to adopting children. According to their online posting, which has since been removed, the Billmans have been looking to adopt more children since 2008. The couple currently has eight children.

The Monroe County Sheriff's Office arrested Billman, but he is in the Noble County jail because the charges are felonies.
