Allegations: Montag, 67, (pictured with his reality star daughter) was accused of abuse by a different relative.
[From article]
Bill Montag, father of reality star Heidi Montag, has been abandoned by his family following his arrest in Colorado on Thursday night on charges of sexual abuse.
Nobody visited the 67-year-old on Sunday at Pitkin County Jail as it's feared his wife Terri has fled town, leaving concerned neighbors to take care of their two dogs.
A friend of the family told MailOnline that his 'life is in ruins' even if he's found innocent on charges of sexual assault on a child and incest.[. . .]
Bill was picked up on a failure to appear charge for three counts each of sexual assault on a child by one in a position of trust and one charge of aggravated incest.
Records claim the abuse lasted for four years. The victim says the abuse began in 1993 and continued until 1998.
He is torn between two jails in the process of being extradited from Aspen to Arapho and is incarcerated without possibility of bail.[. . .]
Capt. Larry Etheridge of the Araphoe County Sheriff's office said: 'Allegations were brought forward by a woman, who is now an adult, who had alleged a sexual assault a little more than 15 years ago during a period of time when she was between 14 and 17.'
Etheridge said Bill 'denied it all' and 'did not admit guilt' but refused to go into further details regarding the investigation which launched in June.
According to NBC 9, 'Due to the statute of limitations, Montag is only eligible to be charged with crimes that occurred after July 1st 1996, when the victim would have been 16 years old.'
The victim bravely told she is coming forward after more than a decade in silence to protect other possible victims and young girls.
Neither Heidi or sister Holly are considered a victim in the case.
