一位加利福尼亚州夫妇因涉嫌虐待儿童被捕,此案与一项涉及至少21名年龄从几个月大到13岁的儿童的代孕计划有关。周二,洛杉矶县地区检察官 Nathan Hochman 宣布了这一消息。
A California couple has been arrested on child abuse charges following an investigation into an surrogacy scheme involving at least 21 children ranging in age from a few months to 13 years, authorities said Tuesday.
郘军玄(音译,66岁)及其妻子张思丽(音译,39岁)面临多项儿童虐待指控,以及共谋虐待儿童、事后窝藏罪魁祸首和阻碍目击者罪名。Nathan Hochman 在周二举行的新闻发布会上表示:“这起案件前所未见,真是令人震惊。”他说:“这些幼小儿童所遭受的体罴、殴打和惩罚令人气愤。”Hochman 表示,鉴于指控的严重性以及他们有逃跑风险,检方要求对这对夫妇缉押1亿美元。他们定于周二稍晚在加利福尼亚州帕萨迪纳法院出庭应诉。
Guojun Xuan, 66, and his wife, Silvia Zhang, 39, face several counts of child abuse, as well as conspiracy to commit child abuse, accessory after the fact, and dissuading a witness, Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said. "This case is unprecedented. It is horrific," Hochman said during a news conference Tuesday morning. "The physical abuse, beating and punishment that these very young children received is despicable." Prosecutors are seeking $100-million US bail for the couple because of the serious nature of the charges and because they are flight risks, Hochman said.

They ranged in age from two months to 13 years, with most between one and three.
警方相信张思丽至少生下了其中一到两个孩子,其余的则由代孕母亲怀孕并分娩。
Police believe Zhang gave birth to one or two of the children while the rest were carried and delivered by surrogates.
Hochman 表示,这对夫妇在自家经营了一家代孕机构,并通过该机构在全美范围内聘请代孕母亲。
Hochman said the couple set up a surrogacy agency that they operated from their home and used that agency to hire surrogates throughout the U.S.
“这座房子只能被描述为这些可爱的小孩子的恐怖之家,”Hochman 说道。
"The house could only be described as a house of horrors for these incredible young children," Hochman said.
张思丽和郘军玄最初于2025年5月因被卡弗索nia(音译)警方报告称,他们两个月大的婴儿因家中保姆用力摇晃而受到创伤性头部受伤而被逮捕。警方当时并未提起诉讼,称需要完成调查。
Zhang and Xuan were first arrested in May 2025 after a hospital reported that their two-month-old infant had a traumatic head injury, the result of a nanny at the home violently shaking the baby, according to Arcadia police. Police did not file charges at the time, saying they needed to complete the investigation.
霍奇曼表示,夫妇将三个房间称为学习中心,孩子们在保姆的监督下每天花几个小时坐在桌旁学习。
Extensive surveillance system at home Hochman said the couple set up three rooms they called learning centres, where the children spent several hours a day sitting at desks under the supervision of nannies.
霍奇曼称,通过包括运动感应摄像机在内的广泛监控系统,夫妇看到保姆们对孩子们实施了包括每日毒打在内的体罪虐待。
Through an extensive surveillance system including motion-activated cameras, the couple watched as the nannies subjected the children to physical abuse including daily beatings, he said.
霍奇曼称,在一段视频中,萱进入其中一个房间并告诉保姆要更用力打孩子,另一段视频中她加入保姆一起打孩子。
In one video, Xuan enters one of the rooms and tells a nanny to strike a child harder, and in another he joins the nanny in hitting the child, Hochman said.

经过检查监控 footage,警方发布了逮捕令,目标是看到伤害两岁婴儿的保姆李春梅,但她失踪了。
After examining the surveillance footage, police issued an arrest warrant for Chunmei Li, the nanny seen hurting the two-month-old infant, but she could not be found.
霍奇曼称“会有清算”面对的被告之一,如果被判定有罪,可能面临超过17年的监禁。
Hochman said "there will be a reckoning" for the defendants, one of whom faces more than 17 years in prison if convicted.
被问及夫妇的动机时,霍奇曼称这是正在进行的调查的一部分,正如每个孩子的父母关系一样。
When asked about the couple's motivation, Hochman said that was part of the ongoing investigation, as was the parentage of each child.
克雷斯,萱的律师,此前告诉ABC7,他的当事人的目标是培养成为有成就的成年人。泰国通过法律禁止外国人使用代理生育(2015年)克雷姆斯说:“他拥有这么多孩子的原因是因为他希望他们为社会做贡献。他不是一个沉溺于自我的人。”他补充道:“一些富有的人可能会花钱在珠宝或汽车上,但他实际上是将自己的资源用于帮助自己的孩子接受教育,使他们能够成为为社会做出贡献的哲学家、医生、研究人员和发明家。”
Mitchell Krems, Xuan's attorney, previously told ABC7 that his client's goal was to raise children who become productive adults. Thailand passes law banning surrogacy for foreigners (2015) "The reason he has all these children is because he wants them to contribute to society. He is not a man who is self-indulgent," Krems said. "Some who are wealthy might spend on jewelry or cars, but he is actually spending his resources to help his children become educated so that they can be the philosophers, the physicians, the researchers and the inventors that help society."
克雷姆斯未立即回应有关本周二逮捕事件的电子邮件询问。加利福尼亚州被称为“代理生育友好州”代理生育是指一位女性同意为另一人或夫妇怀孕并分娩孩子,通常是在进行胚胎移植后。
Krems did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment on Tuesday's arrests. California a 'surrogacy-friendly state' Surrogacy is an arrangement in which a woman agrees to carry and deliver a child for another person or couple, often after an embryo transfer.
美国没有全面的联邦法律对其进行监管,大多数规则由各州自行制定。
There is no comprehensive federal law in the U.S. regulating it, leaving most rules to the states.
加利福尼亚州被认为是“代理生育友好州”,因为它拥有清晰的代理生育过程相关法律。双方都必须聘请律师,并且在进行胚胎移植之前必须签订书面并公证的合同。
California is considered a "surrogacy-friendly state" because it has clear laws governing the process. Both sides are required to have lawyers, and there must be a written, notarized contract before an embryo transfer takes place.
调查人员表示,他们正在调查该夫妇是否误导了全国各地的代理母亲,并且至少有八名女性站出来表示她们被该夫妇积极追求,希望担任代理母亲。
Investigators have said they were looking into whether the couple had misled surrogates around the country and that at least eight women came forward to say they were aggressively pursued by the couple to serve as surrogates.
这些女性,其中许多人是初次做代理母亲的,表示她们收到了有关该夫妇的家庭情况和意图的误导或不完整的信息。
The women, many of whom were first-time surrogates, say they were given misleading or incomplete information about the couple's family situation and intentions.
其中至少有一人,凯拉·埃利奥特,现在正在尝试获得她为该夫妇所生婴儿的抚养权。
At least one, Kayla Elliott, is now trying to get custody of a baby she birthed for the couple.
