Authorities arrested David and Louise and charged them with 12 counts of torture, seven counts of abuse of a dependent adult, six counts of child abuse and 12 counts of false imprisonment. And the depraved, relentless exploitation of some of the children didn’t end after their parents were arrested and charged by the Riverside County DA’s office, Zektser said. A foster family caring for six of the younger children sexually and physically abused them, authorities allege. Marcelino Olguin, 64, his wife, Rosa, 59, and their daughter Lennys, 38, were released on bail after pleading not guilty last March. In February 2019, David and Louise Turpin pleaded guilty to 14 felony counts, including torture, false imprisonment and child cruelty. The Turpin case involved the abuse of children and dependent adults by their parents, David and Louise Turpin of Perris, California, U.S. The ages of the 13 victims ranged from 2 to 29 years-old.

Turpin case

A Trump success in November, with all the ensuing chaos, schism and constitutional outrages, would bring closer both an end to peaceful, rational debate within America and the demise of US global leadership. A prospective second Trump term presages obsessive score-settling at home and abject appeasement abroad. Yet even by his tawdry standards, this daily demeaning before an unbending judge is irretrievably, publicly humiliating. For Trump the alleged criminal conspirator, as opposed to Trump the presidential comeback king, the familiar campaign cry of “Four More Years! Four years in chokey is what he faces if found guilty on 34 felony charges.

Fewer than 10 films make up the legit “Amityville Horror” canon, and even that number is up for debate. Like the word “Paranormal,” “Amityville” has become more of a low-effort synecdoche for generic possessions of things (“Amityville Vibrator”), holidays (“Amityville Christmas Vacation”) or locations (“Amityville in Space”). The films are mostly comedic, have micro budgets and have little continuity with the original. There are at least 45 sequels to Stuart Rosenberg’s 1979 horror drama about a family under siege by supernatural forces inside their home in suburban Amityville, Long Island. That’s more than the “Star Wars,” “Fast and Furious” and “X-Men” franchises combined. The famed “Amityville Horror” film has spawned at least 45 sequels.

Antiwar protesters dig in as some schools close encampments after reports of antisemitic activity

Some of the children, who were not filmed, described still struggling with moving on from the plight, but expressed joy at being able to live new lives and attend school. "We have inside jokes and have so much fun together," she says of her brothers and sisters, who all joined her at a Justin Bieber concert this past March. "After everything that happened, and after escaping, I'm so protective over each one. They always know they have me." Yet, Jordan and five of her siblings say their nightmare continued when they were placed in an abusive foster home.

On July 20, Jordan and those siblings (identified as Jane and John Does) filed lawsuits against Riverside County and ChildNet Youth and Family Services, a private foster care agency. Jordan Turpin managed to slip out of a window, run to the street and call 911. From watching television shows, Jordan Turpin knew she needed proof of the abuse. So when she got ahold of her older brother’s deactivated cell phone, she asked her chained sisters if she could take their photos to use as proof.

David and Louise Turpin pleaded guilty to 14 felony charges in order to avoid a trial on February 22, 2019. These included one count of torture, four counts of false imprisonment, six counts of cruelty to adult dependents, and three counts of willful child cruelty, The Los Angeles Times reported. Both David and Louise were charged with multiple counts of torture, false imprisonment and child abuse. David Turpin and Louise Turpin had pleaded guilty in Riverside County Superior Court in February to torture and other abuse and neglect so severe it stunted their children’s growth, led to muscle wasting and left two girls unable to bear children. A Perris foster care couple and their adult daughter accused of abusing two girls rescued from a home they say their parents had turned into a prison for them and their siblings pleaded not guilty Friday to felony charges.

Glen’s home is located two houses down from Nancy’s, on the opposite side of the street. Poltergeist is centered around a house possessed by supernatural beings in the fictional Cuesta Verde community. The Freeling family home can actually be found in the suburbs of Simi Valley. A six-foot scale model was used for the residence’s implosion in the film’s final sequence.

Disturbing details about the case came to light in January 2018, after one of the daughters escaped their home in Perris, California, and called 911 using a cellphone she had taken with her. The girl, who was 17 at the time, told police that her brothers and sisters were being held by their parents, David and Louise Turpin, and some were chained, investigators said. Jennifer Turpin, and one of her sisters, Jordan Turpin, are telling their story for the first time in an exclusive interview with Sawyer. They are the first of the 13 Turpin children to share their stories. It was a dire warning to their kids that set the abused children's escape plan into motion, authorities say. "David and Louise agreed that they were just going to chain all the kids up once they got to the new house in Oklahoma and they were about to move in the next few days," Riverside County Deputy District Attorney Kevin Beecham tells PEOPLE.

Attorney Jack Osborn, who represents them, declined to comment Thursday. They pleaded guilty to charges including torture and false imprisonment. Six of the 13 siblings, including Jordan, were placed in foster homes where they say they were physically, sexually and emotionally abused.

On the University of Minnesota campus, a few dozen students rallied a day after nine protesters were arrested when police took down an encampment in front of the library. On Wednesday about 60 tents remained at the Columbia encampment, which appeared calm. Security remained tight around campus, with identification required and police setting up metal barricades. University President Minouche Shafik had set on Tuesday a midnight deadline to reach an agreement on clearing an encampment, but the school extended negotiations, saying it would continue talks with protesters for another 48 hours. That didn’t stop protesters from setting up a camp with 14 tents Wednesday following a rally against the university’s suspension of the Harvard Undergraduate Palestine Solidarity Committee.

Jordan, who did not return a request for comment, detailed her continued recuperation in the February 2023 issue of Elle, saying her anguished childhood leaves her emotional most days. The siblings are scrambling to learn everything from how to handle money to engaging with other people, particularly strangers, he said. When asked if she wants her parents to see her modeling photos, Jordan says she doesn’t really care.

Her father worked as an electrical engineer and her mother was a homemaker. Both were originally from West Virginia and grew up as devout members of the same conservative pentecostal church. The frail and malnourished Turpin children were now in a hospital, where they received food, clean clothes, medical treatment, kindness from strangers -- things the siblings rarely, or in some cases never, had before.

In early March 2018, it came to light that a video had been reportedly posted to YouTube by one of David and Louise’s teenage daughters. The footage provides a brief glimpse into what life was like in the family’s California home. Louise’s half-brother Billy Lambert told PEOPLE she met David in church and the two “ran away” together to get married when she was 16 but were returned home to West Virginia by police, at which point Louise’s father signed off on the nuptials. Authorities have said the violence “intensified” as the family moved first from the area of Fort Worth, Texas, to Murrieta, California, in 2010, and then to Perris in 2014.
