Each of the Hendrix sisters thought they were the only one being sexually assaulted. But later in life, they shared their stories and realized that he had been assaulting all of them and they became enraged. "It was okay if it was just me," Amy said. "It was not okay that he hurt my sisters."
After deciding to confront him about it, Amy says they "found out that his new wife was keeping small children in her home and that's why we decided to press charges."
Ted Hendrix was originally charged with second-degree rape, incest, second-degree sexual offense, and other crimes against nature. Amy, Pam and Kathy all testified against their father. Ted agreed to plead guilty to six counts of indecent liberties with a minor and was sentenced to 36 years in prison. Ted's attorney says they plan to appeal the sentence.
