Two Men Face Child Abuse Charges as Investigation Expands to Siders Family

Josh Saunders, 23, and Brandon Henderson Sr., 40, are facing charges in a separate case involving allegations of child abuse as authorities continue investigating suspected abuse connected to the Siders family.

Saunders has been charged with three counts of rape and one count of inappropriate sexual conduct with a minor. Henderson faces 21 counts related to child endangerment.

The investigation into allegations of child sexual abuse began in December 2025. Authorities later expanded their inquiry to the Siders family, which includes 16 children.

Sources have identified Henderson as having a familial connection to the family through marriage, describing him as an “uncle” to the children.

Meanwhile, the children’s parents, Gary Siders Jr. and Elizabeth Siders, are also facing new sexual misconduct charges involving a minor in a separate case.

The allegations against all individuals remain unproven in court. The investigation is ongoing as authorities continue examining the circumstances surrounding the reported abuse.
