One of two foster parents accused of hundreds of sex crimes involving 11 young children in Alabama has been extradited from Florida and is jailed without bail in Lauderdale County.

Jenise Spurgeon

Jenise Spurgeon is held in the Lauderdale County Detention Center on multiple charges, including 100 counts of child abuse, 11 counts of first-degree human trafficking and domestic-violence strangulation.

Her husband, Daniel Spurgeon, hasn't yet been brought back to Alabama but remains jailed in Florida. The man is wanted in Florence for 115 counts of first-degree sex abuse, 122 counts of child abuse, four counts of first-degree sodomy, four counts of sexual torture, three counts of domestic violence by strangulation or suffocation, six counts of first-degree rape, 115 counts of enticing a child for immoral purposes, six counts of incest and 11 counts of first-degree human trafficking.

The charges against the Florida couple stem from allegations of abuse sustained by their foster and adopted children when they lived in Alabama years ago, Florence police said. The charges were announced last month.

The allegations have been under investigation since Florida authorities contacted Florence police last July about crimes that occurred in Cape Coral. The Florida investigation led police to believe children in Alabama also may have been abused, said Florence police Sgt. Brad Holmes during a news conference in March

Holmes said the victims' ages range from toddlers to teenagers. The abuse occurred when the Spurgeons lived in a neighborhood off Jackson Road in north Florence. The couple moved to Florida in 2015.
