DALLAS (AP) - The criminal trial continues for a Mineola man charged with forcing and then videotaping three siblings to dance and engage in sexual acts.

Testimony continued Wednesday in Smith County, a day after the trial began with opening statements.

Forty-seven-year-old Dennis Boyd Pittman is one of six defendants facing charges of forcing three siblings as young as 5 to dance and engage in sexual acts before a paying audience in 2005.

An alleged victim testified Tuesday that God told her the sexual acts she previously said happened didn't really occur. After further questioning, the 11-year-old girl said she was given "silly pills" and danced for boys wearing a "sexy outfit."

Mineola is about 85 miles east of Dallas.
