They cried during the sentencing.<\/p>\n<p>The judge ordered that the defendants not make contact with the nine victims, which included several of the Turpin siblings.<\/p>\n<p>None of the victims or their attorneys were in court for the sentencing.<\/p>\n<p>A victim impact statement from one of the victims, identified by the initials JT, was read aloud in court during the sentencing hearing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;All I wanted was to finally have a loving family and recover from my trauma but unfortunately I did not receive that,&#8221; the statement read in part.<\/p>\n<p>Riverside County District Attorney Mike Hestrin, whose office prosecuted the case, said the sentencing &#8220;marks a significant step in delivering justice to the victims who endured unimaginable abuse.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;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,&#8221; he said in a statement. &#8220;We are committed to holding accountable those who prey on innocent children. Our office remains steadfast in pursuing justice for all victims of abuse and ensuring that those who violate the trust placed in them are held accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The three foster parents pleaded guilty last month to child endangerment and false imprisonment. Marcelino Olguin was the only one charged with three counts of lewd and lascivious acts on a child under 14.<\/p>\n<p>The three foster parents were arrested in 2021 and initially pleaded not guilty.<\/p>\n<p>The six youngest Turpin children were placed with the Olguin family at various times beginning in 2018, a lawyer for one of the Olguins previously told ABC News. Four were still living there at the time of the arrests, according to the attorney.<\/p>\n<p>Six Turpin siblings filed a lawsuit in 2022 against Riverside County and ChildNet, the private foster care agency tasked with protecting them, alleging they suffered &#8220;severe abuse and neglect&#8221; for years in the care of the foster family.<\/p>\n<p>Elan Zektser and Roger Booth, legal representatives for the Turpin family victims, said they plan to hold a press conference on Monday to address the sentencing as well as where the civil case stands.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This press event comes at a pivotal moment, as the public has awaited further details on both the criminal outcomes and the civil action involving the County&#8217;s oversight of the foster care system,&#8221; a press release from the attorneys stated.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for Riverside County told ABC News after the civil complaint was filed that it does not comment on pending legal matters or specific juvenile cases due to confidentiality laws.<\/p>\n<p>A ChildNet spokesperson also told ABC News at the time that the organization was unable to disclose facts or discuss the allegations in the complaint.<\/p>\n<p>A 2022 report issued by outside investigators hired by Riverside County found that the 13 Turpin siblings had been &#8220;failed&#8221; by the social services system that was supposed to care for them and help transition them into society.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Some of the younger Turpin children were placed with caregivers who were later charged with child abuse,&#8221; the 630-page report found. &#8220;Some of the older siblings experienced periods of housing instability and food insecurity as they transitioned to independence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In response to the report upon its release, Riverside County Supervisor Karen Spiegel said in a statement, &#8220;This is the time to act and I will support all efforts to meet the challenge.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Turpin case garnered national attention following the children&#8217;s rescue from captivity in their parents&#8217; Perris, California, home in January 2018.<\/p>\n<p>The 13 Turpin siblings were rescued after Jordan Turpin, then 17, executed a daring escape in the middle of the night and called 911. Authorities subsequently discovered that their parents had subjected the siblings, who ranged in age from 2 to 29 at the time, to brutal violence and deprived them of food, sleep, hygiene, education and health care.<\/p>\n<p>Their parents, David and Louise Turpin, pleaded guilty to 14 felony counts in 2019 and were sentenced to 25 years to life in prison with the possibility of parole.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2024, ABC Audio.
