TULSA, Okla. — Jason and Heather Bycroft face charges in relation to child pornography.

Court documents state in 2015 Jason Bycroft exposed a female minor's private area, while a woman believed to be Heather Bycroft recorded it.

According to District Attorney Jack Thorpe, this is not the first allegation against the couple.

“Back in 2016, our office filed charges against Bycroft for rape," Thorpe said.

The victim in that case is a relative of Heather Bycroft. According to court documents, Heather Bycroft was present in the home at the time. Thorpe said she was not charged because there was no probable cause.

On Friday, Thorpe's office filed a new charge against Jason Bycroft in Wagoner County for lewd molestation of a child stemming from the same 2015 incident.

“This new charge is based on activity that occurred actually before the Cherokee County case," Thorpe said.

Jason Bycroft is also charged with possession and distribution of child pornography in Tulsa County and production of child pornography in federal court from this same incident.

A jury trial for the couple is set for Dec. 21.
