NEWARK, N.J. — A former military couple has been convicted on multiple counts of abusing their three foster children.

A federal jury in Newark returned the verdicts Wednesday after deliberating for about five days.

John Jackson was convicted on 10 of the 13 counts he faced, while his wife, Carolyn, was found guilty on 12 of 13 counts. They will remain free on bail until their sentencing, scheduled for October.

John Jackson was an Army major at Picatinny Arsenal in northwestern New Jersey when the alleged crimes occurred. The couple now live in Burlington County,

Federal prosecutors alleged that the foster children suffered injuries including a broken arm and fractured spine and were severely underweight when they were removed from the family home in 2010.

The children allegedly were forced to eat hot pepper flakes and drink hot sauce as punishment.
