LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — A new court filing is offering more specific details about the timeline tied to the perjury charge against Nick Houck.
Nick Houck, the brother of Brooks Houck, was arrested June 4 and charged with perjury. Brooks Houck was convicted last year of murdering Crystal Rogers.
Kentucky State Police originally said Nick Houck "allegedly committed perjury between 2015 and 2023." According to the indictment, Nick Houck "made a material false statement, which he did not believe, in an official proceeding, while under oath required or authorized by law."
Prosecutors filed a motion in Nelson Circuit Court asking the court to amend the offense date listed in Houck's indictment, calling the change a clerical error. The court later approved the amendment Thursday.
The amended court record now specifies the alleged perjury happened between July 15, 2015, and Aug. 16, 2023.
The July 2015 date matches the day Houck was questioned by investigators shortly after Crystal Rogers disappeared.
The August 2023 date falls about a month before a grand jury indicted Houck's brother, Brooks Houck, on charges including complicity to murder and tampering with physical evidence in Rogers' disappearance.
Brooks Houck was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Rogers, who disappeared on July 3, 2015. Her body has never been found.
Nick Houck, a former Bardstown police officer, was fired in 2015 after being accused of interfering in the investigation. During Brooks Houck's murder trial, prosecutors described Nick Houck as an "unindicted co-conspirator."
Investigators have not publicly released what Nick Houck is accused of lying about.
His arraignment is scheduled for Thursday at 9 a.m. in Nelson County.
