California Foster Father Sentenced to 7 Years for Abusing Turpin Children

Marcelino Olguin was convicted of abusing foster children previously tortured by their biological parents, highlighting systemic failures in child welfare.

Marcelino Olguin, 65, pleaded guilty to lewd acts, false imprisonment, and injuring a child, receiving a seven-year prison sentence.
His wife, Rosa, and daughter, Lennys, pleaded guilty to child cruelty and were sentenced to four years of probation each.
The abuse occurred after the children were rescued from the Turpin family's notorious house of horrors in Perris, California.
