  • Denton faces nine felony counts including six counts of child abuse, one count of forcible sodomy, one count of lewd or indecent acts to a child and a pattern of criminal offenses.
  • Rowland has been charged with enabling child abuse and previously faced an abandonment-of-child charge after admitting she handed London to a meth dealer in exchange for drugs.
