HIS 16 CHILDREN WERE FOUND INSIDE A “HOUSE OF HORRORS”… AND NOW, THEIR FATHER WAS ALREADY WANTED BY POLICE THE SAME DAY THEY WERE RESCUED – A DISTURBING DETAIL HAS EMERGED
THE father of 16 children found living in deplorable conditions at home was wanted by cops for alleged perverted acts on the day they were rescued.
Gary Siders Jr., his wife Elizabeth, and his parents Gary Siders Sr., and Christina Siders were all arrested on June 30 for allegedly keeping 16 kids between 18 months and 18 years old in a 12-foot by 12-foot room filled with faeces.
The Vinton County home in Ohio was quickly dubbed the ‘house of horrors’ with the state attorney general saying that the children, some of whom were mute, “looked like almost feral animals.”
All four adults were taken into custody and face numerous charges including endangering children.
Now it has been revealed that cops only turned up to the property because Siders Jr. was wanted by police for alleged acts of public indecency.
The 36-year-old allegedly repeatedly exposed himself to neighbors during a week in May, according to court documents seen by the New York Post.

They claim the twisted dad flashed his genitals on May 23, May 27, May 29, and May 31.
The day the criminal complaint was filed was June 30, and when officers showed up with an arrest warrant for Sider Jr. they executed a search warrant and discovered the children inside the squalid home.
His wife and parents were then also arrested while the children were taken from the hellhole to safety for medical treatment, with some going to level one trauma centers due to the severity of their conditions.
Siders Jr. is due to face his indecency charges in court on July 23.
Meanwhile, if all four suspects are found guilty of child endangerment, they could spend up to 192 years behind bars.
It is believed that Siders Jr. and his wife Elizabeth are the biological parents of all the children.
Siders’ lawyer, Tommy Stolly, is looking into if the 33-year-old, is a victim herself after she married her husband in 2008 at just 15, when he was 18, as was legal at the time.
Just two months later, she gave birth to a baby who is now the eldest victim in the horrifying case.
From prison, the desperate mom has made a disturbing request in her push to be released from prison.
Her plea comes after Siders Sr. was released from jail after suffering a medical episode that required urgent care.
Conditions inside the house described as “horrific” by authorities, with the situation of “pure evil” encountered by investigators, according to Ohio Attorney General Andy Wilson.
Vinton County Sheriff Ryan Cain said there was an abundance of human waste and excrement inside the home while Wilson said the children were “literally about to fall through the floor”.
Officials say the children had been kept in an area no bigger than 12 feet by 12 feet for most of the last four years.
“Most of the livestock was kept in better condition than the children,” Cain said.
All 16 children are now in the care of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services as the case continues.
