Boyd Householder was arrested and charged with 79 felonies, including child molestation, sodomy, sexual contact with a student and neglect of a child. Stephanie Householder was indicted with 22 felonies including child abuse, neglect, and endangerment. This is for incidents over the three years from 2017 to 2020, though Circle of Hope operated much longer.
