Grandfather Ruled Incompetent in 'House of Horrors' Case
9 Sep
Summary
- Grandfather found incompetent to stand trial.
- Sixteen children were rescued from horrific conditions.
- Other family members also face child endangerment charges.
A judge has declared Gary Siders Sr., 73, incompetent to stand trial for child endangerment charges. He is the grandfather of 16 children recently rescued from what officials described as "horrific" conditions in Ohio. The ruling indicates he is unlikely to regain competency to understand proceedings or assist in his defense.
Siders Sr. faced 16 counts of child endangerment. His attorney suggested the ruling may bring his prosecution to a swift conclusion. The children, aged 1 to 18, are now in state custody. Their mother, father, and grandmother are also facing multiple child endangerment charges.
