A California couple who pleaded guilty to years of torture and abuse of 12 of their 13 children have been sentenced to life in prison. The pair were sentenced during an emotional hearing that saw some of the children speak publicly for the first time.
RIVERSIDE, Calif. — The Latest on the sentencing of a California couple who starved and abused a dozen of their children for years :A California couple who pleaded guilty to years of torture and abuse of 12 of their 13 children have been sentenced to life in prison with possibility of parole after 25 years.
One of their daughters, weeping, said in court that “My parents took my whole life from me but now I’m taking my life back.” Louise Turpin spoke for herself, saying, “I’m sorry for everything I’ve done to hurt my children. I love my children so much. ... I only want the best for them. Some of the other children said they still love their parents. One asked for a lighter sentence because “they believed everything they did was to protect us.”
It’s the first time the children are appearing publicly since the arrest of their parents, David and Louise Turpin. They have the right to address the court to say how they’ve been impacted by the abuse.
