Turpin and their children who have all been released from their parent’s custody

Riverside District Attorney filed eight new charges of perjury against Mr Turpin Friday. The couple has yet to enter a plea over the new accusations.
A spokesman for the DA said the charges related to eight private school affidavits Mr Turpin filed with the state Department of Education when he set up his two home schools.

Mr Turpin first registered City Day School at their family home in Murrieta, then later registered Sandcastle Day School in 2011, at their new family home in Perris, allegedly to teach his children aged between six and 18.
The alleged child abuser listed one full-time teacher and one administrator on the school forms, and declared that the schools were not tax-exempt.
In the forms, Turpin also declared that he would keep attendance and qualification records, as required by the state’s Education Code.
Attorney David J. Macher previously told The Orange County Register he understood the new charges were eight counts of perjury, though he could not confirm the details that gave rise to the new accusations.

‘Until I see the complaint, I will not know for certain… Of course the presumption of innocence applies to any new charges as well as to those already on file,’ Macher said.
Mr Turpin appeared in court wearing a turquoise button-down and cream chequered tie, but without his glasses. His wife sat next to him, dressed in the same black suit that she appeared in for previous court hearings. Neither spoke while court was in session, but talked quietly with their lawyers beforehand.
