Previous: This is absolutely shocking. According to TMZ, former The Hills star Heidi Montag's father, Bill Montag, has reportedly been arrested on charges of child molestation and incest by authorities in Aspen, Colorado. Per the gossip site, 67-year-old Montag was arrested for allegedly committing "years of sexual abuse and incest" with a 13-year-old girl, and that the abuse may have occurred between 1993 and 1998. From TMZ:

Bill Montag was picked up by Aspen cops Thursday night. Authorities say the sexual abuse continued until the girl turned 17. The complaint says he abused the child at least 50 times.As for the time frame ... the alleged abuse occurred between 1993 and 1998. It does not line up with Heidi or her sister Holly.

The details reported from court documents obtained by the site, unfortunately, get more horrific from there.

Additionally, a police report was filed in Arapahoe County on Thursday night, according to local Colorado station 9News , and court documents reportedly give "no indication in court documents that William Montag is accused of abusing either Heidi or Holly." The victim, who reportedly told authorities that she came forward with claims of the abuse to "protect other girls from becoming victims," has not been identified.

According to ABC News 7 Denver, per court documents, Montag has been charged with "three felony counts of aggravated incest and three felony counts of sexual assault on a child by one in a position of trust."
