The alleged abuse was discovered when the two girls, 11 and 13, picked the lock on their bedroom door, snuck outside and took the family car. They crashed the car and when police arrived, they learned what was happening in Moss’ home.

The couple’s adult children told prosecutors they were subjected to abuse as well.

The couple is being held without bond and all three children have been placed in new foster homes.
