Las Vegas father who forced children to have sex with pet dog, his ex-wives and himself gets 341 years
A father who forced his children to have sex with him and also their family dog has been given 54 life sentences on Tuesday.
52-year-old Christopher Sena from Las Vegas had also recorded the sickening acts which were shown to the jury at his trial.
Christopher's former wives 53-year-old Deborah Sena and 48-year-old Terrie Sena have also been sent to jail for a minimum of 10 years each for being "willing participants" in the abuse.
The authorities revealed that Christopher and his ex-wives had filmed themselves abusing around eight children over a period of 12 years. The sex acts also involved two of his children having sex with the family dog.
Christopher had also recorded his children having sex with him, their mother, and also their step-mother against their will.
He has been in jail since 2014 and was convicted earlier on this year but was only sentenced on Tuesday, May 28.
During his trial, prosecutor James Seetin said, "This was all done without concern for the children or anyone else. This is what he wanted, and this is what he got."
Judge William Kephart told the court that a sentence stretching 'hundreds' of years would suffice for Christopher's "highly selfish" and "very perverted" behavior.
The father was found guilty on 95 counts in the case surrounding child pornography.
As reported by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Kephart said, "I’m ashamed that it had to come out of the city that I love."
Christopher was arrested on September 19 in 2014 and his arrest report lists 23 felony counts including child abuse, neglect or endangerment, sexual assault of a minor under 14, lewdness with a child under 14, sexual assault of a minor under 16, incest and preventing or dissuading a witness or victim from reporting a crime.
Before being arrested, he would often take to social media to post about his love for his family and, in one post, spoke of one of his sons learning a "valuable lesson" after being made to clean up the family's home.
"I started making this video about two weeks ago. I noticed my family was looking a little down so I wanted to pep them up because I have the best family in the world. I love you guys," he wrote after sharing a video on Father's Day.
One of his victims who is now an adult testified in person and described the nature of the abuse she suffered at Christopher's hands.
A former neighbor told News 3 after his arrest that he felt sorry for the kids living with Christopher. The anonymous man shared, "I think he made them believe that’s what love is through years and years of torture."
