Fort Pierce father at filthy house pleads to child neglect
By staff report Monday, June 22, 2009
FORT PIERCE — A father at a house where 10 children were suspected of living filth pleaded no contest Monday to a child neglect charge.
Rupert Anthony Thompson, 32, father of some of the children and stepfather of others, was arrested in October 2008 after authorities say they found feces, flies, roaches, trash, dirty diapers, rotting food, urine and exposed electrical outlets in the house in the 1100 block of Jasmine Avenue. The children ranged in age from 4 months to 12 years.
As part of a plea agreement, the State Attorney’s Office will recommend Thompson receive two years of probation when he’s sentenced by Circuit Judge Larry Schack. Sentencing is scheduled Aug. 19.
