They had pleaded guilty to felony charges related to their mistreatment of foster children — including six of the Turpin children who had been abused by their biological parents — in their Perris home.
His wife, Rosa Olguin, 60, was sentenced to 120 days in the Riverside County sheriff’s work-release program, four years of probation and a four-year prison term that was suspended after pleading guilty to three counts of willful child cruelty and one count each of false imprisonment, intimidating a witness and grand theft.
The Turpins were taken in at the foster home in Perris in April 2018, three months after the 13 Turpin children, ages 2 to 29, were rescued from captivity after one snuck out of their Perris home and called 911. The Olguins were charged Nov. 3, 2021. The Olguins forced the Turpin children to talk about their past. One 5-year-old, an investigator’s affidavit for an arrest warrant said, was given sleeping pills and then forced to stand in a small square marked by blue tape, and an Olguin would ring a bell, spray her with water and yell at her to keep her awake.
“Today’s sentencing marks a significant step in delivering justice to the victims who endured unimaginable abuse,” District Attorney Mike Hestrin said in a statement. “These children were placed in a position of vulnerability after surviving intense trauma, only to be further exploited by someone who was entrusted with their care.”
