An Ohio mother of 16 children who were rescued from a home where they allegedly lived in horrific conditions cradled her stomach while in court, where she pleaded not guilty Wednesday to the charges against her.

Elizabeth Siders, 34, who faces four counts of child sexual abuse and 19 counts of child endangerment, appeared in court, FOX 8 reported.

While in front of the judge, Siders, who was dressed in an orange jumpsuit, kept shielding her stomach and clutched her belly, The Daily Mail reported.

Fox News Digital has reached out to her attorney, Thomas Stolly, for comment on the charges against his client, as well as whether she is once again pregnant.

“We have an individual in Elizabeth who was married at age 15, who has essentially been pregnant for the better part of two decades,” Stolly told local media. “Who has never fully gone through any postpartum period, who has not been receiving regular medical care that would be appropriate for someone who has had 16, 18 children.”

“I have concerns about what effects those have had on her,” he added.

Siders and her husband, Gary Siders Jr., are accused of sexual abuse against a minor in 2022. The alleged victim is not among the 16 children, the news report states.

However, the child was in the care of the couple at the time the alleged abuse occurred. Gary Siders Jr. has also pleaded not guilty to the charges against him, but was found incompetent to stand trial last week.

Siders and her husband have been ordered to have no contact.

On Wednesday, a judge deemed Elizabeth Siders a flight risk and raised her bail from $250,000 to $550,000.
