She informed the proceedings the defendant had conducted this practice with the young males "over an extended period", and children had previously become sick the next day.
She explained the man had been capable of justifying this over a long period as the youngsters being "overstimulated by activities", until his family member had concerns in recently.
The legal representative added: "In the summer" his stepchild had worries about what was going on, justifiably.
"They decided to have a look in the man's possessions."
The legal counsel explained objects including baby oil, petroleum jelly and medical needles were located, and his stepchild notified the law enforcement about his concerns.
She said Ruben went on to play the "candy game" with six children that night - July 26th - and they were all sick the subsequent day.
"Authorities" had not arrived by that time," she added.
The regulatory agency, the investigative body, had stated that it was examining the police response of the events.
Mrs Prior stated the minors were struggling to walk due to their sickness, so Ruben's stepson contacted the authorities a second time.
She stated the defendant then conducted the "treat game" in a space of five youngsters.
