An El Dorado County woman is behind bars after being accused of abusing and torturing children she adopted.
One of those children — a 14-year-old — ran away from home in April and revealed years of abuse to deputies.
The El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office took 63-year-old Patricia Taylor, into custody after a weeks-long investigation.
Deputies say she fostered several other children over the years.
El Dorado County deputies say four adopted daughters had been living with Taylor at the time of her arrest, all between the ages of 11 and 16.
Taylor faces over a dozen serious charges — including years of child abuse, torture, false imprisonment and sex crimes.
