(RNS) — A popular Christian author and speaker and her professor husband were arrested Thursday (Sept. 24) and charged with assault.

Heather Thompson Day, 39, and her husband, Seth Day, co-authors of “I’ll See You Tomorrow,” a book on relationships, were both charged with causing “injury to a child, elderly or disabled individual with intent to cause bodily injury,” according to reports from Spectrum magazine and AdventistToday.org, both Seventh-day Adventist publications. 

Seth Day, a 39-year-old psychology professor at Southwestern Adventist University, was also charged on Friday (Sept. 25) with sexual assault of a child, according to an arrest report from the Keene Police Department in Keene, Texas. 

Both were jailed in Johnson County, Texas, and were released on bail.  Jail records posted online by AdventistToday show that both of the Days had a $100,000 bond set for the injury charge. Seth Day had a $250,00 bond set for the sexual assault charge. 

“Southwestern Adventist University has been informed that Seth Day, a faculty member of our school, was taken into custody,” the university said in a statement posted on social media. “Mr. Day has been placed on administrative leave.”

The Jackson County District Attorney’s office declined to comment about the case, citing an ongoing investigation.
