A 59-year-old Ohio man, William Turnage, will spend more than a decade in prison after pleading guilty to manslaughter in connection with the 2024 death of his girlfriend’s autistic son, 16-year-old Jeremiah Moore. Turnage left Jeremiah to starve to death while tied in a 56-degree basement.

As reported by The Cincinnati Enquirer, Turnage pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and endangering children on July 31. The plea agreement had a murder charge against him dropped, and he will testify against Tamara Moore, the 53-year-old mother of Jeremiah and Turnage’s girlfriend at the time.

While a plea agreement was reached, the prosecution asked for the maximum sentence to be imposed. William Turnage was, however, sentenced to 11 to 15 and a half years in prison.
