Summary
Guojun Xuan and Silvia Zhang were charged after authorities said 21 children born through surrogacy were raised in an abusive Los Angeles-area home.
32 cameras installed across the couple’s mansion allegedly let them monitor more than a dozen of the children live while nannies carried out brutal punishment.
Prosecutors say the pair recruited surrogates under false pretenses, turning the surrogacy operation into the pipeline for what authorities described as a "house of horrors."
