A California couple has been charged with criminal abuse of children born through surrogacy arrangements. Guojun Xuan, age 66, and Silvia Zhang, age 39, face multiple counts related to the alleged mistreatment of at least 14 surrogate-born children 2. The pair operated a surrogacy company and were accused of repeatedly physically abusing 15 of the 16 children in their home, some as young as two months old 2. Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman stated that "the number of child victims is unprecedented" 2.
The case came to light after authorities conducted their first search of the couple's Arcadia mansion in July 2025, following a May 2025 incident in which Zhang brought a two-month-old male infant to a hospital with a head injury, claiming the child had fallen from a bed 2. The initial search resulted in 21 children being removed from their custody, ranging in age from two months to 13 years, with most between one and three years old 2. Investigators discovered surveillance equipment within the property, including 32 motion-activated cameras and three dedicated "study centers" equipped with monitoring cameras 2. Footage from these cameras allegedly showed nannies striking children 2.
One nanny, Chunmei Li, was separately charged with a felony for allegedly abusing the two-month-old infant 2. Xuan faces a maximum sentence of 17 years and 4 months; Zhang faces up to 11 years and 8 months; and Li faces up to 12 years in prison 2. The defendants have pleaded not guilty, with their defense attorney characterizing the case as a "misinterpretation of evidence" and asserting their constitutional right to maintain a large family 2.
