A Kentucky couple is facing 20 years behind bars after they starved and tortured children in their ‘house of horrors.’
Jerome Norman and Mary Hall, both 44, were indicted back in March on three counts of first-degree criminal abuse.
Hall had gained custody of her sister’s children after she died in a 2018 car accident, and their father was later convicted of manslaughter in the crash and jailed, WYMT reported.
The couple moved to Pike County with the kids in 2023, where prosecutors say the abuse began.
Staff at Kimper Elementary School noticed bruises and unusual hunger patterns in one child.
