Police say Young took the photos inside his remote Pierce County home - victimizing every one of his six foster boys between the ages of 5 and 7.

Court documents say "some images included the children having intercourse with an adult male."

As prosecutor's charged Young with 44 counts of child rape, molestation and exploitation, detectives revealed Young admits he took pictures of his sexual acts with the boys using a digital camera and tripod.

"To find six kids in foster care under these circumstances, it's pretty tough," said Detective Greg Dawson with the Pierce County Sheriff's Department.

Young's sister claims she tipped authorities several months ago.

"Ask DSHS why when I investigated them they left them damn kids there since September, and let him take on two more during the course of that investigation," she said.

DSHS can find no record of her tip.

Young's niece, Beth, is outraged.

"It's a shock and I just had to see it, to see if anyone's supporting him or facing up to the fact that this happened and it's disgusting and wrong," the girl said.

Sources tell KOMO 4 News Young and his wife have taken in 13 foster children since May of 2002.

Those same sources say Young's wife worked long hours at a local bakery and left him to take care of the boys.

Attorney Tom Balerud is representing two brothers recently returned to their mother after spending several months in foster care with the Youngs.

Balerud says those boys are now telling police - they are victims too.

"They're barely able to talk about it. They're devastated," he said. "They were so joyful to have the children back. I'm talking about the mother now - and then to find out they've been scarred this way - she really doesn't know how to deal with it."
