Child Protective Services workers testified Wednesday that the sexual abuse three siblings and their young aunt endured in the "Mineola Swingers' Club" case was the "worst of the worst."

Patrick "Booger Red" Kelly, 41, Tyler, is on trial for engaging in organized criminal activity - forcing two of the siblings to have sex with each other for his financial gain - on Aug. 1, 2004. He could face five years to life in prison if convicted by the seven-woman, five-man Smith County jury in 241st District Judge Jack Skeen Jr.'s court.

 

The oldest of the three sibling victims, who is now 11, testified for another three hours on Wednesday. She answered questions, mostly posed by defense attorneys, for nearly six hours on Tuesday. Two foster parents and two CPS workers involved with the children also testified.
