Prosecutors claim that the couple burned, beat and cut their children, who were 9, 11 and 15 at the time. An affidavit says the two boys told authorities they were confined in a dark cellar for up to seven months at a time.

The couple was arrested after the oldest son was found sleeping in a box behind a restaurant in northwest Oklahoma City.

The couple has pleaded not guilty.
