The abuse came to light when one victim confided in a friend during a sleepover, sparking an investigation that led to Gardner’s arrest. Another survivor, now a young adult, bravely stepped forward, revealing abuse that began when she was just seven or eight. During trial, the two victims testified with courage, detailing horrific acts. District Attorney Summer Stephan called it a message of zero tolerance for predators, praising the prosecution team for delivering justice to survivors.
