Sena was charged with forcing his seven children in having sex with him, the mother, the step-mother, and the family dog for 12 years.[2] His crimes were unveiled in 2014 after a SWAT team raided his trailer located to the south of Nellis Air Force Base on 18 September 2014[1] Information about the abuse was given by Deborah Sena to a family law attorney.[3] Two of the children told police that he threatened to kill them or break their legs if they reported the crimes to the police.[4] Terrie Sena, Christopher's ex-wife, was sentenced to life in prison with the possiblity of parole in 2015.[5][6]

In 2019, during Christopher's trial, Terrie Sena testified in court that the abuse started in the 1990s with her 12-year old sister.[7] Most victims were relatives of Sena, however he also asked his children to bring friends over so that he could also abuse them.[8] One angry father tried to attack Christopher Sena in the courtroom.[9]

In February 2019, Sena was found guilty of multiple counts of sexual abuse and child abuse, and given 54 life prison sentences on 28 May 2019 by Judge Bill Kephart.[10][11] Along with him, Deborah Sena and Terrie Sena, his ex-wives, were sent for 10 years imprisonment for 'willing participation'.[1] He was found guilty of 95 out of 120 felony counts against him. He will be eligible for parole after serving 337 years.[12][4]
