House of horrors.
Police raided a small-run down home and found 12 girls, ages six months to 18, locked inside the home of a man who has been charged with sexual assault in Pennsylvania.
The Lower Southampton Police Department arrested Lee Kaplan, 51, after a criminal complaint was filed against him for holding children hostage and "sexually assaulting one of the girls from 2012 to 2015," according to NBC10.com.
The girls were found on Thursday inside the Bucks County home. An 18 year old girl, one of the alleged victims, reportedly told the police that Kaplan fathered her child and that he also fathered another child, the six month old baby. All of them have been taken into police custody.
The police were told that one of the teenage girls in the home was "sold by her parents to Kaplan," and that they are in custody.
"This child gave birth to two other children through an inappropriate relationship," Lower Southampton Lt. John Krimmel told NBC10.
The complaint stated that Kaplan lied about the girls in the house.
"The resident had told other neighbors that no children live there," NBC10.com reported.
Kaplan is being held on $1million bail.
