Search warrant obtained for Stephen’s properties

     On Feb. 22, the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) obtained a search warrant for the residences of Greg Stephen in Monticello and Lake Delhi. The search warrant affidavit states that a device had previously been obtained from Stephen’s Monticello residence and was examined by law enforcement agents. The affidavit states the device was found to contain video clips believed to depict young, non-adult disrobed male individuals. Based on the investigation, the male individuals do not appear to be aware they were being recorded.

     Stephen is the co-founder and coach of the Iowa Barnstormers AAU (Amateur Athletic Union) basketball program.

     Monticello Police Chief Britt Smith confirmed that no arrests have been made at this time.

     “We need a fair amount of time to thoroughly investigate this,” he said.

     The Monticello Police Department initiated the investigation, with the MPD contacting DCI.

     “The investigation has been taken over by DCI,” he said. Both the MPD and Delaware County Sheriff’s Department are assisting in the investigation.
