- Authorities say 16 children were confined in squalid conditions.

## Summary

Elizabeth Siders, 34, who is charged in a case involving 16 children found confined in squalid conditions, is pregnant again, her lawyer confirmed in court. A judge also ruled her competent to stand trial, meaning proceedings can continue despite her lawyer’s concerns about her mental health.

Siders has pleaded not guilty to 19 counts of child endangerment, two counts of sexual battery and two counts of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor. Her lawyer has asked for an evaluation on whether she was legally insane at the time of the alleged offences; her husband is also being assessed for competency. Authorities say the children, aged 1 to 18, were kept mostly in a 12-by-12-foot room for at least four years; Siders’ mother-in-law was ruled incompetent, while a case against her father-in-law was dismissed without prejudice.
