Rohnert Park Foster Parents Learn This Week Whether They’ll Be Tried For Various Crimes Including Torture And Kidnapping

A pair of Rohnert Park foster parents will learn this week whether they will face trial for allegedly abusing and raping three children they adopted. Both Jose and Gina Centeno have been charged with three counts of kidnapping for ransom and three counts of torture. Jose Centeno is also charged with nine more counts related to rape and sexual abuse. Their defense attorneys will make their case tomorrow on why the Centenos shouldn’t stand trial. Police tells the Press Democrat that the couple made their foster children run barefoot in a backyard until their feet bled, locked them in their rooms at night and beat them if they triggered a motion sensor. Jose is also accused of sexually abusing one of the girls several times. The case came to light when two of the children were abandoned in Mexico. There was a third child but she disappeared years earlier and has not been seen or heard from since.
