RIVERSIDE, Calif.—Prosecutors have filed eight new charges against a California father accused of shackling and starving some of his 13 children, alleging that he lied on government forms about their schooling. John Hall, a spokesman for the district attorney’s office, said one charge was filed for each year the paperwork was completed from 2010 to 2017. Turpin, who appeared in court briefly Friday wearing a sage green button down shirt and yellow tie, didn’t enter a plea to the new charges during a brief hearing in Riverside. State records show Turpin listed the family’s home address in Perris, Calif., as the site of a private day school. The children, who were removed from the home and initially hospitalized, ranged in age from 2 to 29.
