California prosecutors have detailed allegations of horrific abuse by the parents of 13 children held in shackles at their home.
David and Louise Turpin face charges of torture, abuse and false imprisonment.
They are due to appear in court to be formally charged.
All 13 of the couple's children were suffering from malnutrition.
The teenager who fled from the house earlier this week to raise the alarm had planned the escape with her siblings for two years.
She fled through a window with a sibling, who then became afraid and returned to the house.
The couple's children, who are aged between two and 29 and had all been home schooled, have been treated in hospital since being freed.
If found guilty of all charges the couple face 94 years to life in prison.
