Once inside the home, Shissler would parade around nude or in thong underwear and would instruct the boys to take off their clothes, investigators said. He engaged in sexual acts with some of the boys.
Scott Reisch, Shissler's defense attorney, said the boys initially denied any improper conduct with Shissler but changed their stories under pressure from investigators.
Reisch also said that none of the accusers were foster children under Shisslers care.
