Children's book author and engineer husband exposed for double life in house of horrors
Fox News
The author of a children’s book and her engineer husband pleaded guilty to abusing their adopted children for years in Florida on Monday.
Jennifer Wolfthal will be sentenced to 12 years in prison, while her husband will be sentenced to 10 years behind bars, according to the plea agreement. Sarah Rumpf-Whitten is a breaking news writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business.
"This plea and sentencing agreement ensures that the Wolfthals will spend significant time in prison while it protects the already-traumatized victims from the stress of having to testify," a spokesperson for the State Attorney’s Office in Florida’s 18th judicial circuit said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "The State Attorney’s office made sure law enforcement and the children’s new guardian supported this sentence before it agreed to it."
