Guojun Xuan and Silvia Zhang are accused of deceiving surrogates with false intentions in California. They allegedly raised the children in an abusive environment. On October 6, 2026, they appeared for arraignment in Pasadena, California.
Authorities claim the couple used over 32 cameras to monitor over a dozen children born via surrogacy within their Los Angeles mansion. The surveillance allowed them to observe as nannies administered harsh punishment, streamed through a live CCTV feed.
These allegations point to a systematic approach to child-rearing that disregarded the well-being of the children involved.
