(KSL News) -- A sexual abuse case called the "worst ever" by Taylorsville police has ended in a not guilty verdict.

Bente Hansen was accused abusing several of her children and grandchildren for decades.

Prosecutors blamed a court ruling barring the admission of certain family photographs for the not guilty verdict.

Defense attorneys said there simply wasn't enough evidence.

Five other members of the Hansen family still face similar charges.
