Saunders faces four charges in the case.

But Henderson faces 21 charges in the indictment.
His charges include child endangerment, gross sexual imposition and sexual battery.

It also lists eight counts of sexual battery.
According to his indictment, Henderson’s alleged conduct spans from January 2020 through November 2025.
Then the investigation led authorities beyond their shared residence.
Authorities say this inquiry helped lead them to a separate home on Ohmer Street in Hamden.
On June 30, sixteen children were found at that Ohmer Street address.
That residence is connected to the separate Siders family child-endangerment case.
That case has already drawn national attention.
And a family obituary reportedly identifies Henderson as the brother-in-law of Gary Siders Jr. and Elizabeth Siders.
Investigators say the case helped uncover the second home.
Twenty-five charges stand between the two men.
Allegations reach down to a child younger than 10.
Sixteen children were found at the second property.
The charges are allegations and have not been proven in court.
