Children Forced Into Sex With Father, Mother, Step-Mother For Years, Acts Recorded
A man from Las Vegas was sentenced to 341 years in prison Tuesday for forcing his children to have sex with him, his wife and ex-wife for 12 years.
Investigation into the crime began in 2014 after Deborah, 52-year-old Christopher Sena’s wife, along with another adult informed the family law attorney about the abuse. Investigating officers found that a female adult and a male juvenile were forced to have sex with their father, mother and step-mother inside the home where they lived for 12 years. The acts were recorded by Christopher. Accordingly, Christopher, Deborah and Christopher’s ex-wife Terrie Sena were arrested in what the police described as “one of the worst cases” of child sexual assault they encountered. Further investigation revealed that there was a total of eight victims which included immediate family members.
In 2015, Terrie was sentenced to life in prison after she pleaded guilty to one count of sexual assault. The court documents stated that Terrie was attracted to one of her victims, a 14-year-old boy, because he "reminded her of a younger Christopher."
Post the sentencing, Chief Deputy District Attorney James Sweetin had told News 3 that, "Terrie has taken responsibility for a course of conduct that resulted in crimes against children in her own household. As a result of the acceptance of that responsibility, she was sentenced appropriately by the court."
The following year, Deborah too was sentenced to life in prison. She, however, said it was Christopher who forced her into raping the children through extreme abuse, both emotional and physical. The victims too spoke in Deborah’s defense.
"I've seen Deborah take beatings for us even though they were aimed for us. I saw that she was hit by hammers, I saw she was hit over tables. I've heard the worst. Thank you, thank you for getting me out of there. Thank you for getting my brothers out of there,” one of the victims said.
In February 2019, Christopher was convicted of several crimes including sexual assault of a minor, incest, production of pornography and lewdness with a child younger than 14.
“We know who he is because he’s demonstrated who he is over a decade. This was all done without concern for the children or anyone else. This is what he wanted, and this is what he got,” the prosecutor told the court in February.
He was handed 60 life terms Tuesday and will not be eligible for parole until 2360.
