FLORENCE, Ala. (AP) – A former foster parent charged with more than 300 criminal offenses against children in her care had her bail set Tuesday at $2 million by an Alabama judge.
Lauderdale County District Judge Carole ruled that $500,000 of Jenise Spurgeon’s bail must be in cash, the TimesDaily (http://bit.ly/2oUNzcW ) reported.
Spurgeon, 52, and her husband Daniel W. Spurgeon, 47, were arrested last year in Florida on hundreds of charges of child abuse, sexual abuse and other crimes against 11 children they adopted or fostered for seven years while they had lived in Alabama.
Daniel Spurgeon remains in a Florida jail. Jenise Spurgeon was arrested in March in Florence after posting bail in Florida.
Each has now been charged in both Florida and Alabama.
