Turpins Face New Charges

The California parents accused of torturing their imprisoned children are now facing three new charges.  David and Louise Turpin were hit with three additional child abuse charges in a Riverside courtroom yesterday.  In addition, Louise was charged with felony assault and David is facing one count of a lewd act on a child under 14.  A spokesman for the District Attorney's Office says the new allegations came as a result of the ongoing investigation. 

 The pair were both already charged with 12 counts each of torture and false imprisonment, six counts of child abuse and seven of cruelty to a dependent child.  They're due back in court in ten days and a preliminary hearing has been set for May 14th.
