According to the probable cause affidavit, 71-year-old Wilbur Orlin Murphy Jr. is charged with felony counts of sexual assault in the second degree, sexual indecency with a child and computer child pornography. His wife, 63-year-old Karen Murphy is charged with a felony count of permitting the abuse of a minor.
