Foster family pleads guilty to abusing children who had been tortured by parents
RIVERSIDE, Calif. (AP) — Three members of a foster family have pleaded guilty to abusing children, including several who previously were tortured by their parents in their Southern California home. The Press-Enterprise reports that Marcelino Olguin pleaded guilty Thursday to multiple counts of lewd acts on a child in addition to false imprisonment and injuring a child. Olguin’s wife Rosa and daughter Lennys pleaded guilty to child cruelty, false imprisonment and other charges. They are scheduled to be sentenced Oct. 18. Among the children the Olguins cared for were six members of the Turpin family, who were placed there after being rescued from horribly abusive conditions in their parents’ home.
