A Westminster couple pled guilty to and were senteced to over 20 years in prison for the sexual abuse of a minor.

Earlier this month, a male relative of the couple came forward to the Oconee County Sheriff's Office to recount several years of sexual abuse he received during the 2000's.


The husband, 67-year-old Anthony Sluder, pled guilty to 5 counts of Criminal Sexual Conduct with a Minor Second Degree and 5 counts of Incest and was sentenced to 25 years in prison.

The wife, 56-year-old Edna Sluder, pled guilty to the same charges and was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

"The crimes perpetrated by Anthony and Edna Sluder are some of the most disturbing that I have seen during the course of my prosecutorial career," Solicitor David Wagner said. "Anthony and Edna Sluder deserve every day in prison that they received."
