Ohio House of Horrors: Sex Abuse Probe Uncovers 16 Children and 106 Charges
About this episode
This episode discusses a child sex abuse investigation in Ohio that uncovered horrific conditions involving 16 children and multiple defendants facing serious charges.
A child sex abuse investigation in Vinton County, Ohio, has uncovered an alleged house of horrors involving 16 children, six defendants and 106 criminal charges. Gary Siders Jr., Elizabeth Siders, Gary Siders Sr. and Christina Siders have now been formally indicted on dozens of child endangerment charges after authorities allegedly found the children living in horrific conditions inside the family’s Hamden home. Gary and Elizabeth Siders now face additional sexual battery and unlawful sexual conduct charges involving another minor, while two newly named defendants, Josh Saunders and Brandon Henderson Sr., face charges including rape, gross sexual imposition and sexual battery. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down how one investigation led police to the Siders home, the disturbing web of allegations now emerging and why Ohio authorities say their work is far from complete. All defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
