“How could this man get away with sexually abusing five victims for seven years and how could it not see the light of day for 10 years?” Haverstick said rhetorically to the jury during his closing statement.. “What you heard during this trial was the blueprint to the answer. Fear. Isolation. Control. Shame.”
Rendon is being held at Lancaster County Prison and his bail was raised to $2 million.
