Spurgeon and his wife, Jenise, were arrested in 2016 after three of their underage foster daughters were found drunk at a Cape Coral KFC restaurant. Officers tipped off investigators in Florence, Alabama, who say the abuse started when the family lived there and he pled guilty to 14 charges, including child abuse and rape.
Spurgeon will be designated a sexual predator and will have no contact with victims. He will also get credit for time served.
