MOREHEAD, Ky. — The husband-and-wife operators of a chain of addiction treatment centers have been battling legal problems this year, but they found themselves facing their most serious trouble yet, following a raid on their home Thursday.

John Elam, 43, and Myra Elam, 43, both of Morehead, are respectively listed as the operating officer and registered agent for Edgewater Recovery, which is headquartered in Morehead, with treatment centers in Morehead, Flemingsburg, Pikeville and Paducah.

Back in February, Edgewater resolved a False Claims Act lawsuit alleging the company routinely required clients to submit to unnecessary urine tests on a weekly basis. The lawsuit was dismissed, but terms of the settlement were not disclosed.

Around that same time, John Elam was arrested for DUI and Myra Elam was arrested for public intoxication. Those cases remain pending.

But on Thursday, authorities raided their home and took them into custody on child porn charges. Court records give very few details, but both are charged with 13 counts of possession of material portraying a sexual performance by a minor under the age of 12, and two counts of possession of material portraying a sexual performance by a minor older than 12 but younger than 18. John Elam is also charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Both are currently being held in the Rowan County Detention Center on bonds of $150,000 cash each.
