California Couple Arrested on Child Abuse Charges in Surrogacy Investigation, Police Say
Prosecutors say the couple ran a surrogacy agency and used 32 cameras to monitor nannies who abused at least 15 children.
- On Tuesday, Guojun Xuan, 65, and Sylvia Zhang, 38, were arrested at their Arcadia mansion on suspicion of conspiracy to commit child abuse, with authorities finding more than 20 children born through surrogates living under constant surveillance.
- A yearlong probe began after police searched the West Camino Real Avenue residence, focusing on the home after Zhang brought their 2-month-old son to a hospital with a head injury earlier this year.
- Police described the mansion as a "home school type atmosphere," with 25 cameras monitoring the rooms, while prosecutors allege nannies carried out physical abuse that the couple failed to intercede in.
- Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman and County Sheriff Robert Luna scheduled a news conference for 11 a.m. Tuesday to discuss the case, while the 21 children remain in custody of the Los Angeles County Department.
- Defense attorney Mitchell Krems stated, "My client is innocent. It is the nanny," claiming Xuan is being targeted for exercising his constitutional right to a large family, as nanny Chunmei Li remains at large in China.
