BUNNELL, Fla. -- A Central Florida man charged with 37 counts of possessing child pornography was arrested Tuesday along with his daughter on incest charges, deputies said.
Alton Everett Smith, 46, and Kristilyn Smith, 25, both of Palm Coast, were arrested on charges of having sex at their Carlos Court house in mid-August.
Kristilyn Smith was booked into the Flagler County Inmate Facility on $25,000 bond.
Her father, who told investigators he's "not the monster the news is making him out to be" was arrested early Monday morning on the child porn charges.
He denied taking inappropriate pictures of children and disputed reports from authorities that there are tapes of him having sex with minors.
After being on the lam for a week, Alton Smith was taken into custody after climbing down six balconies outside of a New Smyrna Beach hotel when authorities knocked on his door.
Alton Smith was transferred to the Flagler County Inmate Facility on Tuesday from the Volusia County Jail. He's being held on $950,000.
Investigators found several hundred photos, CDs, VHS tapes and 8mm videos taken over a decade with most showing children posed in sexual positions. Maj. David O'Brien of the Flagler County Sheriff's Office said some photographs show children as young as 8 years old engaging in various sex acts, while others show Smith and his wife engaging in sexual acts with minors.
